    The pandemic has quite rightly highlighted the great work undertaken by the sector but we know that at the higher governmental The first indicator of a successful nonprofit organization is the amount of time they spend on the details that bring their fundraising campaigns to life right from the start. 

    • Be on guard for a surge of solicitations related to any highly publicized crisis.
    • Do not respond to, or click on any attachments, links or pictures.

    • Is storytelling a big component of the campaign? Think of creating a embeddable photo gallery or a place to add videos, all of which can be easily viewed and shared.
    • If your site has a blog or stories section, create at least one post relevant to the campaign.

    We encourage you to try one or all – but to tweak them for your specific purposes. What might work for one campaign may not work for another, and the same is true for one nonprofit versus another.
