- 21. Preface
The concept of using your website to help facilitate significant gifts is not
all together different than the traditional face to face approach.
We aren’t suggesting that major gifts will be transacted online, but that the
web is simply one more communication channel that can help establish
credibility, trust and enhance relationships.
In the same vein, your website can also make a potential donor skeptical
and work against your relationship building efforts.

- 22. For a website to be a viable channel for significant gifts, a few
critical elements are required.
1 The site must provide stewardship
2 The site must help to build institutional knowledge
3 The site must be able to leverage institutional knowledge
(recognize our supporters and treat them appropriately)
4 The site must monitor & respond to the conversion rates of it’s content
and emails
