Clearly this indicates the importance of contacting new online subscribers as soon as possible. And what should that contact look like? Or, is it more effective to cut to the chase and make the initial contact a direct fundraising ask? Thanks - Janine June 20, 2007 | Janine Kraus Copyright © 2008, Care2.com

then get bombarded for years with snail mail from numerous nonprofits who then bought my contact information from the nonprofit I donated too. For our donor database, we only have email addresses for a small percentage of our contacts and still see a lot of checks coming in via the mail. Its a waste of natural and financial resources.

We began by sending an email to all of the supporters of our charity by using Constant Contact, just to let them know we had entered the contest and that their donation could help us possibly win more funding for the children. What goals does the org. That went to several thousand supporters. Lastly, you can shamelessly plug LWB.

Tim says MySpace is not good for fundraising, although we have seen some examples of orgs running successful fundraising campaigns, such as Dollars for Darfur. Regardless, very few orgs (though some) have raised real cash via the Causes app. But 36% discovered them through a friend’s profile. On YouTube : everyone loves video.

We know that lots of orgs have heard some variation of this from their bosses—“We need to get on the Twitter!” Ive seen many orgs that seem to want numbers for the sake of numbers: when they dont want to think things through clearly, rather than understand the goals and missions and then take a quantitative view.

Because Google Grants can’t be used for direct advocacy, our standard “Contact your lawmakers about this issue today!!!”-style How funny, I got a message today from an org apologizing for sending me an e-mail addressed to "Christopher," and I thought of you. :) And I totally agree with you about the testing.

I work for a well-established non-profit (organization has been around over 100 years) and we dont have "online contacts" for most of our donor base and still received a lot of checks in the mail. I cringe when I see the tons of mail environmental orgs send every year. I never give in response to a piece of mail.

Often I find with orgs that I work with, someone will send an email to their "all staff" email list that says basically: "OMG! " And if its a sufficiently compelling case, it gets approved and the org goes on to write a wonky boring email about it to send to members. Did you see this?! All rights reserved.
