This document outlines the point system for a sorority that rewards members for participating in various activities. Members must earn 70% of the 100 base points each month to remain in good standing, or 65% for seniors. Base points come from activities like community service, event attendance, fundraising, sisterhood events, and involvement in other organizations. Bonus points can be earned for things such as maintaining a high GPA, designated driving, holding an office, and perfect meeting attendance. The point system is designed to encourage involvement in the sorority and community through rewards.
The concept behind speed dating is to meet as many people as possible as quickly as possible—and 99% of them you’ll never see again. Actually, that’s not too far off from the statistic that 80% of donors never make a second gift. So what can you do to develop a successful donor relations program, what works and what doesn’t, and how can you improve your retention rate? Learn how to form a lasting relationship with your donors.
Creative Thank Yous and Cultivating an Attitude of GratitudeLynne Wester
Most nonprofits are leaking donors like crazy. They acquire; they don’t retain. On average folks lose 8 out of 10 donors after the first gift. While donors want to change the world with their gifts, most want something else too. It’s intangible, but it’s important. And if you won’t give it to them, someone else will. The important social acknowledgement and identity reinforcement that comes from a heartfelt, thoughtful thank you cannot be underestimated. Truly, how and when you thank your donors can make or break your entire fundraising program.
