Remember that donors need you and vice versa.

Non-profit leaders, remember that donors need you and vice versa. They have goals and need an organization like yours, and a leader like you, to translate their dollars into impact.

Having an emotional connection with your donors at the event is key. So, it’s really not about the numbers. Instead, make an emotional impact on your donors.

Engage Board members and donors and allow them to get to know your team. Share experiences about the good results of the efforts put forth. When you’re meeting donors, allow them to feel inspired by sharing stories that prove the impact they’ve had on other people’s lives. That’s what fundraising is about.

And remember, everyone appreciates being thanked.
