Year-end fundraising coincides with the gratitude season, which includes Thanksgiving in the U.S. and the December holidays. This is appropriate since thanking your donors is part of the fundraising equation, even though many nonprofits don’t seem to realize this.

How do you thank your nonprofit’s monthly donors? Monthly donors are a special breed of supporter. They’ve chosen to make a real commitment to your mission in the form of a recurring gift. How can you make them feel how special they are to you? Should you send a monthly thank you? You can, certainly. But if you do, make sure that you change it up periodically so your supporters aren’t getting the same thank you every month.
