Do you know why your donors support you?
Anna Burns of the Great Commission Foundation gives us tips on keeping in touch with our supporting community.
Here are four reasons why a donor would want to support you…and keep on supporting you: 1. You cared enough to step out in faith and ask us. 2. You regularly communicate with us…in a way that makes it easy for us. 3. Your continual thanking us shows you really do value our partnership and feel it makes a difference in your ministry. 4. Keeping us aware of what is going on in your family’s life reinforces you consider our relationship to be personal, not just “ministerial.”

Are you showing your donors consistent gratitude?
No matter how many donors you have — whether it’s ten or ten thousand — you should be thankful for them and that shouldn’t be a secret. Your donors should know how thankful you are. Reach out and thank them.
Anna Burns of the Great Commission Foundation gives us tips on keeping in touch with our supporting community.
If ministry workers actually invest in donor stewardship and prioritize their time, they will see a result back. They will have loyal donors. Schedule an hour of your time each week dedicated to donor stewardship. Write those personal letters. Ask how you can pray for them. Thank them for their support. Tell them stories about what you are doing that they have made possible.
