who truly cares about the cause


(Re)Ignite the passion

Fall in love again! Celebrate new ways of thinking Have fun Remind yourself of the vision, of the

dream Get out to see the actual work! Invite the people you work for Invite your donors


Brand Touch Points

© Maria Ros Jernberg, 2011Every Touch Point counts!

A great donor experience!


DONOR FOCUS


It’s all about the donor

”You” is the most important word


Not ”Support us”It’s ”What you can do”

Fundraising communications should tell the donor how great the donor is. Not how great the organisation is.

Your donors are the most important people you have. The whole organisationneeds to embrace this thought.


Making donors feel like they’re part of something◦ Belonging

Idea: On the web: ”About us” + ”About you”

A passion for donors!

The relation betweenYou and I

You = Donor

I/we = Organisation

You:I has to be bigger than 1

Common mistakes

We did this, we achieved that, that and that. We were amazing. And by the way, thankyou…

What it should look like

Thanks to you we’ve had the possibility to achieve a lot of amazing things. Without you it wouldn’t have been possible…

CHANGE FOCUS

How do we get more from our donors?


What does the donor get from giving to us?

”Is this all I am?”


”But I want to be a hero!”
