  Tips and Tricks •Set a goal-how much would you like to raise? • Reach out to all your donors through e-mail – Send an e-mail a few days before – Send an e-mail the day of (give now!) – Keep the language simple • Pick up the phone and call your major supporters (ex: Board Members) • Identify advocates and have them set a goal

  Communication Tips andTricks from a Bonus Day Rock star • Called their major donors and board members and let them know that on Bonus Day their gifts would be matched. RefugeeOne asked that they consider giving on Bonus Day rather than waiting to give on a later date. • Sent a series of emails to their donor network – The 1st email was sent the Thursday before Bonus Day. RefugeeOne made it a teaser, not revealing the nature of the match. For example “Keep a look out for an opportunity to make your donation BIG!” – The 2nd email was sent the Monday before Bonus Day using campaign language their donors are familiar with. For example, they stuck to a tag line that their donors had already reacted positively to, keeping language consistent. But, they still did not reveal the GlobalGiving Bonus Day match. – The 3rd email was sent the Tuesday before Bonus Day. This was the last of the series of teasers. For example, “Tomorrow get ready to make your donation count. Check your inbox tomorrow to see how you can make your donation touch many!” – The 4th email was sent the day of Bonus Day revealing the GlobalGiving Bonus Day match and it included a direct link to their project page. One main reason behind the day of reveal was to avoid donors giving too early.
