Why Email for Fundraisers? (Part 3 of 6)
6 Unique Online Fundraising Techniques for Your Nonprofit
http://www.ephilanthropy.org/site/News2?page=NewsA...
by Lance Trebesch and Taylor Robinson

  1. Cost effective - Nonprofit organizations more than anyone realize the importance of maximizing the effectiveness of their resources.  Traditional forms of marketing are becoming less justified as the costs associated continue to increase with little correlation to actual results.  Email marketing presents one of the most cost efficient ways for nonprofits to reach their supporters.
  2. Relationships - Personal relationships are absolutely the key to fundraising and email should be used as another channel to strengthen existing relationships.
  3. Fundraising Awareness - No other marketing technique gives you the ability to notify hundreds or even thousands of targeted individuals in a matter of minutes.  Emails can create awareness for fundraising campaigns and call people to action.  Your emails must be compelling and avoid being unfairly labeled as spam to connect with supporters.
  4. Community - One of the most important functions of email is to provide relevant articles and organization newsletters.  Within the email, provide a link back to your websites’ blog or forum page where they can comment on the article or newsletter.  This will encourage personal involvement and community.
