If they engage with us (i.e donate) online, shouldn’t the next communication be online – (obviously offering a choice of online or snail mail comms)?. Gens X and Y are the next generation of donors – but many are engaging with charities earlier than dorothy did and we need to make sure we’re not losing them by insisting on shoe-horning them into the traditional charity donor communications mould. Thanks Di, some great stats to back up this point with my team :-)

Thanks so much for posting!

Two points are especially intriguing: marketing toward the younger crowd in regards to the Olympics, and the mention of Google Wave. It is indeed important but also very difficult to make donors out of young people, but the impression you make on them about this fundraising opportunity and your cause may be even more important than actual contributions. And yes, the Olympics are so huge, widespread, and memorable that they become something to take advantage of.

Your mention of Google Wave simply suggests that we should not only be on top of technology but *ahead* of others — this is not something that’s always intuitive for fundraisers.

Thanks again!

Would you please give me permission to give you some info? I have been able to help churches and non-profits with this, and it is amazing what has begun.
Thank you for your kind consideration in this matter.
Blessings,
Herman
