Importance of Appreciation

Given that relationship building is a key component of resource development, showing appreciation for a gift (of any size) is critical because it promotes a lasting connection between donor and organization. Appreciation also is a vehicle through which to continue cultivation and education, particularly when the appreciation strategy includes an explanation of how the donors’ gifts are being used to help the organization. In some instances, the receipt of a “thank you” prompts an unsolicited repeat (or possibly upgraded) gift from the donor! The effectiveness and appropriateness of appreciation strategies, as applied to individual donors, is in part dependent upon the cultural, social, and professional groups (e.g., ethnicity, age, religion, gender, profession, etc.) with which they identify. Keep this in mind as you complete the following assignment.

Finally, based on your preferences, explain at least one insight you gained about the selection of appreciation strategies.
