  1. Show gratitude – tell donors how grateful you are for what’s happened this year.
  2. Have a spirit of anticipation– share with you dollars what’s coming.
  3. Honor the season– use thematic illustrations and photos.
  4. Accentuate the positive – donors are motivated to help you change the world, not help you get out of the red.
  5. Don’t preach– but do provide concrete examples of donors’ dollars at work using a Biblical Theme.
  6. Tell stories– people care about what happened because of their donation.
  7. Make it personal– handwritten notes go a long way.
  8. Be concise– readers are skimmers.
  9. Ditch the traditional language– embrace familiarity in your stories.
  10. Show the impact– pictures are worth 1000 words.
