Nonprofits often struggle with how to write emails, newsletters, and other copy that can connect with donors. The key? To incorporate vulnerability, warmth, authenticity, and even some silliness and disregard for proper grammar and style. And who best to teach us this style than someone who was in the trenches for years - with extraordinary results!
For 11 years, Julie Edwards was immersed in the world of animal welfare as Director of Development and Marketing, then Executive Director, of a regional selective admission facility. Throughout her tenure, she learned from the best in the field and used this knowledge to take the organization to the next level including overseeing the expansion of public clinical services to $1+ million in annual revenue. Julie built the organization's development and marketing communications programs from the "ground up" taking annual gifts from less than $200K to more than $1 million.
Here are some of the topics we discussed:

• Why donor relations matter now more than ever
• The essential elements of a donor relations program that actually works
• How small nonprofits can split their time on donor retention AND donor acquisition
• Tips to retain more donors and to make them feel acknowledged and happy
