It’s Thanksgiving Day in the USA. A day when family and friends gather to offer thanks for what they have and to acknowledge those present in their lives. It’s a non-religious holiday and it often times has more meaning to people as a result.
Thanksgiving Day is also an opportunity for charitable organisations to recognise donors who have supported them throughout the year. Causevox recently published a blog post offering 7 ways to thank donors during Thanksgiving. Several charitable organisations have sent me Thanksgiving greetings over the last week and I thought I would share them with you in hopes it will offer some ideas for donor care and stewardship for your non-profit organisation
