My job is to work with donors, inspire them to give to an
organization and help the organization build a lifelong relationship with them. I am talking about building a friendship,
making that donor feel like they are part of the family of the organization and
that they are truly making an impact.
Tonight I got to partake in part of the relationship process that I
often coach my clients on. The follow-up process – which is just thanking the
donor and listening to why they got involved.
Most of the people on my list were not home so I left a lot of
voicemails but there were a few people that I talked to and I was so inspired
but what they had to say. When you give
someone the opportunity to really tell you why they made the difference there
is just pure love coming from them. I
wanted to reach through the phone and hug these people. They were so inspiring
and reassured my beliefs that there are great people in the world do amazing
things, even if they are small acts. These
are the people that I wanted to be surrounded by each and everyday. I appreciate donors who truly give because they
are passionate enough about making a difference.
