Successful Direct Mail Fundraising Campaigns

When:  Feb 16, 2023 from 11:30 AM to 01:00 PM (PT)

Successful fundraising is a result of good planning and execution. However, when it comes to direct mail campaigns many nonprofits write a fundraising appeal letter and hope for the best. Do more than write a letter and hope it does well. This Lunch & Learn is designed to give you the tools to make your direct mail fundraising campaign a successful effort.

 

In this session we will discuss the keys to a successful campaign, which include:

 

  • Making a plan
  • Setting a goal
  • Building a giving matrix
  • Crafting strong messaging in both copy and imagery
  • Being clear about what you need
  • Asking more than once
  • And, thanking donors for past and future giving
