Best Practice of the Month: Recognizing Donors Is Not Only Good Stewardship, It Also Helps Your Bottom Line
People like recognition. It is a simple element of human nature that can help you grow your organization. Using this to your organization’s advantage is simple: make sure to recognize your donors as often as you can. Publishing honor rolls is a great place to start. It gives donors the satisfaction of seeing their name printed, and they can compare their giving with other members. For those who did not donate, it can serve as a kick in the pants to do so. (And trust us, if donor is left off an honor roll, they are quick to call and find out why- more proof that recognition is important.)
