thanks Paul Yeghiayan, CFRE, CSPG for the comment and post. As you note, there is a multi-generation opportunity here. Most people call it Family. But for most nonprofits, the issue of deceased donors has been a matter of administrative housekeeping—keeping mailing lists clean by suppressing the names and addresses of those who have passed away. Or quickly checking office notes or the CRM to see if they’re in store for a bequest. But what about paying respects long before before a loyal donor dies? And alerting the donor’s friends and family to a life of commitment and encourage them to continue this tradition of involvement with our organizations? Family. It’s a word we all understand. A bond we can’t shake off, even if we wanted to. These families, they’re part of our community too. The 30-year-olds, unaware of their parents' contributions, uninvolved until the direct mail shows up with a deceased parent’s name still on it. It’s a reality we see too often. It’s a wake-up call. Charities often focus on Donor Advised Funds, Legacies, Honor and Memorial Gifts as the conventional practices; quite correctly. But what if we went further? What about organizing family days, requesting photos from the donors and their families to create a shared history? Or even better, sharing photos with the family of what Mom or Dad’s gift made possible. What if we didn’t wait for donors to die? What if we involved the families now? Brought them into the fold with recognition and thanks that reached across generations? It’s not just about holding on to what we have; it’s about building. About creating a continuum that outlasts us all.

Some nonprofits object to starting a monthly giving program. They worry about the time to service monthly givers. You can lessen this worry by setting up a donor account, sometimes called a donor portal. https://buff.ly/4cqJanw #donations #monthly #nonprofit #donation #fundraising #charity #nonprofitorganization #nonprofits #notforprofit #support #socialgood #monthlygiving #recurring #subscriptiongiving #recurringgiving #monthlydonor #donorlove
