People make judgments about others in a matter of seconds. When we meet new people, we tend to instantly place them into categories based on what we hear and see in those first seconds. While these assumptions usually aren’t accurate, they allow someone whose time is extremely valuable—such the president of a company or a wealthy philanthropist—to make quick decisions about what deserves their limited time and attention.

Looking at donor retention stats and the costs associated with recruiting new donors, it makes sense to prioritize post-donation communications. It’s much easier and less expensive to convince a past donor who has already shown their connection to your cause and willingness to give than it is to reach someone who has never given and may not even know who you are or what you do.

Last month at my family’s Lunar New Year dinner, I recited our usual new year greetings: . Gong hei faat choy – Wishing you a prosperous year . Sun nin fai lok – Happy New Year. Sun tai geen hong – Wishing you good health. Maan see yu yee – Wishing you everything positive and good. In that exact order every year for the last 26 years, I’ve always offered these blessings to my family as a routine gesture.
