You all need donations to be successful. So whether you’re growing and need some foundational support or you’re enterprise-level and want to be reminded of some techniques that helped you skyrocket, this ultimate guide will cover donations from A to Z. There’s a little something for everyone!  \nNothing can make your nonprofit heart soar more than a major gift that obliterates your fundraising goals, and nothing can lead to more nonprofit sleepless nights than a paltry response to an enthusiastic outreach. You need donations, and people want to support good causes…but there can be an ocean between those two parties.  \nWe’re here to help you sail across it.  \nCharityEngine has been helping nonprofits raise money for decades. And, if we do say so ourselves, we’re pretty good at it! Our clients, from the biggest (looking at you, Wounded Warrior Project) to the smallest (we see you, Merlin’s Magic Wand!), often ask us for advice on a range of donation topics. In this guide, we have compiled a resource for all nonprofits who have questions about donations and advice about how to increase donations.  \nNo matter what size nonprofit you are, we’ve got a client just like you…and this is the advice we give them. From startups to enterprise organizations, everyone needs donations to thrive, and we’re here to help you nail it.  \nIn this guide, you’ll learn:  \n² Different types of donations, including some you might not know exist  \n² Creative ways to ask for donations…to get to a yes!  \n² Our advice for great emails, from donations to receipts  \n² Tips to make your donation form irresistible  \n² What donors really want to see on those tax receipts (and a free template!)  \n² How technology can make your life much easier  \nYou’ll be armed with all the information and tools you need to invigorate your fundraising efforts! So let’s get started.  \nClients like Easterseals, Wounded Warrior Project, and MD Anderson Cancer Center count on CharityEngine to reach their fundraising goals.  \n1 Types of Donations  \nA donor goes to your website, clicks the “donate now” button, and it’s a donation. Right? Right. But it’s also a donation when someone volunteers at your event or when your friend says,“Sure, use my computer printer.” Every single donation can help your nonprofit!  \nThis chapter will help you think outside the standard donation box and consider some previously untapped sources of donations.  \nHere’s a hint: replace the word “donation”with the word “support.” Maybe support looks like borrowed office space or a team of your friends staffing a 5K run for you. Maybe support looks like a matched gift or a sponsorship. It’s so much more than a monetary donation (though those are nice, too!). Let’s take a look at some different types of donations you might want to consider.  \nTypes of Donations  \nMatching Gifts  \nCorporate Sponsorship  \nStock  \nRecurring Gifts  \nMatching Gifts  \nMatching gifts are, perhaps, the easiest way possible for nonprofits to raise money effortlessly. That’s because most companies have a philanthropic goal, and they meet it, in part, by matching charitable donations made by their employees.  \nWhile ther","cbCaigVNa9VmosMz","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigVNa9VmosMz","pdf",4011037,27,"English","# Introduction\n# 1.
