Thank You Notes

How often do you send out a thank you note? Is it only when you get a large gift? The standard practice is to thank a donor, of any size, for their gift with in 48 hours of receiving the gift.

Thank you notes should also go out to visitors for taking the time to learn about your organization. Foundation representatives that sit and talk to you about their giving guidelines also should be thanked for their time. New members of your organization should also be thanked for choosing your NPO.

A simple note will go a long way in helping the people that show an interest in your NPO, that they are appreciated and special.
