How can we connect our donors with our vision in a meaningful way?
Every nonprofit leader I meet with wants more than just dollars from donors; they want a deeper connection. In a few cases it is possible to take the donors to see the projects and programs personally, but the costs of doing so (money, time, staff energy) are generally prohibitive for all but the largest donors.
Today I saw something much simpler that I found inspiring.
I ddon’t know much about Bulembu International (yet!) but I love this Letter to Donors in 2020.
Read it, honour them for the idea, and then steal it for your organization. Or better yet, come up with your own creative way to connect with donors andd let others steal it from you.

The letter to donors in 2020 is brilliant. If we could all expand our vision, stay focused and work hard these kind of letters will become a reality. Yes Chris, this is inspiring. Stealable for sure.
