Chris: A Few Times I Celebrate

Thursday, June 18th, 2009

holidays to reach out

Too often nonprofits only contact individuals to ask for money.  It is important to understand that people like to be part of something and providing information is one part of that.  The other part is to make the individual feel like they have the most recent information about the organization.  It is natural for people to reach out to each other and let one another know what is going on as well as reestablish the connection.  Nonprofits should do the same.
