Valentine’s Day is right around the corner. What better day to show love to your donors and supporters? If you need some special ideas on how you can show your love and appreciation, check out our list below!
Send a Handwritten Letter or Valentine
Nothing says love and appreciation quite like a a handwritten letter! In this day and age, there’s something special about receiving a handwritten note or card. It surpasses the experience of receiving a digital thank you by making it more personal. Need some help? Gather up your board members, volunteers or those you serve and ask them to help write personalized thank-you letters or valentines!
Show the Love on Social Media
If you’re hosting a fundraising campaign this month, tag your donors in a photo, video or message thanking them for their contribution. It’s a win-win to help provide you with more social media content and make your donor feel special. This makes it easy for donors to share and promote your organization to their own network as well.
Put a Valentine’s Day Donor Wall On Display
Have you thought about filling up a wall in your facility with your donor’s names? This is a great visual way to highlight the support of your donors. For Valentine’s Day, this would look great on some paper hearts/valentines. Share the progress of the wall on social media and encourage people to help you fill it up over the next month!
Share Your Love in an Email
Send out an email campaign that acknowledges all of the love and support your donors have given over the past year. This could even be a great email to feature your impact report for 2021. Make sure to include fun, Valentine’s day themed messaging and designs to make your email stand out.
Reserve a “Why I Give..” Spot on Your Website
Have a spot on your website to acknowledge donors by featuring them and a testimonial of why they continue to give to your organization. This is a simple way to highlight recurring donors and people who are passionate about supporting your cause that will lead others to do the same!
Spread Love with a Video
Sometimes people need something more visual than words. Showcase your Valentine’s Day behind the scenes and show what donations can provide along with your thank you. This can be a simple video recorded on your phone or even a TikTok.
