The most important thing I’ll say today
Raising funds online is not about technology. It’s about the relationship between the nonprofit and the donor.
The level of connection determines how much and how often giving happens.
Small upgrades to the donor experience make a big difference.
There’s no excuse for failing to improve the online giving experience!

Encourage Recurring GiftsBecause recurring giving is one of the key drivers of donor value, nonprofits should encourage this behavior:
•Always offer a recurring gift option on your giving page.
•Monthly giving is the most popular choice, so make that one the easiest for donors to do.
•Present a compelling reason to give monthly, whether it’s a greater impact or convenience.
TIPS
Recurring Giving

Giving portals & Social Networks: Looser Ties
Cultivate Donors from Portals and Social Network Sites•Thank donors promptly and thoroughly. Assume they don’t know much about your organization.
•Keep your organization’s profile up to date (contact info, mission, etc.).
•Improve and de-clutter your home page.
TIPSPortal donors give smaller average gifts – 25.1% lower than website donors
The donor may not know the charity well – and charities my not follow up well
But these donors matter

December and Disasters DominateDecember is the strongest giving month for most organizations—it’s even more so online. Further, it’s the last days, and even last hours, that make the difference.

December Donors Are Worth More
Maximize December Donations•Start early. Get your website and email house in order. During the last few days of the year, change your website to make donation collecting the focus of the homepage. Make your best offer to the donor (it’s not about you).
•Prime the pump. Start building your email list and relationships with your supporters in the fall.
•During the last week of the year, send several emails. Pull out the stops on social networking sites. Create a countdown campaign and remind supporters they can give until midnight local time on the 31st.
•Email early on the 31st. Mail in the morning so you’ll be near the top of inboxes.
TIPS22% of giving is in the last two days of the year.
Donors who give for the first time in December give 52% more over time than those who start in the other 11 months.

The obvious: Ask for recurring gifts, and ask for donations the last week of December.
