QUICK SHOT: Strengthen Donor Relationships During Crisis

These days, we’re inundated with information. Conflicting news, fluctuating numbers, and opposing opinions are everywhere. Even though this season of isolation may have felt like a digital hurricane of content, there’s a silver lining: People are connecting online more than ever before. This is great news for nonprofits!

During times of crisis, increased technological capabilities have made it possible for many organizations to continue their fundraising efforts, leverage their digital platforms and even expand their donor bases.

Unfortunately, a few disadvantages also arise in this hyper-connected environment. Even as your organization amplifies its online voice, you’re competing against almost everyone else doing the same. Donors are constantly faced with new facts, varying opinions and conflicting information.

Right now, it's more important than ever to build a trustworthy and dependable bridge to your donors.
