Whether it be offering input on a decision to be made or helping manage a fundraising event, it is important to ALWAYS involve your donors in your fundraising campaign.

(Which means that the pictured statement is indeed a MYTH!)

We understand that not all donors will desire to or have the time to be a part of the fundraising process, but many of them will! If any person is donating a large amount of money to your organization, chances are they greatly care about your cause and want to help wherever else they can!

How exactly do you involve your donors? You could ask for their advice on a decision, invite them to attend a fundraising event, or even serve on the board.

No matter what it is, donors want to feel like they are making a difference and involving them in every step of the fundraising process is a good way to do just that!

Fundraising is an art form, and like any work of art, it requires attention to detail, a deep understanding of the subject, and a willingness to connect on a personal level.

And what is one of the most underestimated details of any fundraising campaign? Meaningful relationships.

By building relationships with donors, organizations can inspire giving, drive fundraising success, and create a sense of community that lasts beyond the fundraising campaign.
