Remember Your Donors

I am a donor and of very modest means and amounts. And yet, with at least a couple of organizations, my contribution is sufficient that they [continue to] to court me by inviting me to special concerts, lectures, etc and generally making feel more important to them than I probably am. I love it.

So, what have you done for your donors recently?

I think one of the easiest things to do is invite them over and let them see what their money has been spent on and how it has made a difference since the project was celebrated as completed The donors could be reintroduced to people who were there at the time of the donation/opening, meet new people in the organization, talk to people who benefit from the donation, etc., etc., and so forth. 

The most important part of this is that there be NO ASK. That can come at a later date. For this one morning, afternoon, evening, etc., the donors are just regular folks savoring the good thing they helped to bring about. And that's not a bad way to spend time with generous friends.
