PLAN Canada was looking to offer donation options beyond monthly donations. They developed the Gifts of Hope program which packaged specific tangible aid items donors could relate to. Donors could choose the item and community they wanted to help. FSA Group created a database of images and texts to customize thank you cards for each donor and gift. The cards showed the item purchased and its impact. This personalized approach proved hugely successful, with the program having its best year. Customized thank you cards acknowledging donors' choices improved the donation experience.
