Ready to dive deeper into each one? Let\u2019s get started.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5973\" src=\"https:\/\/virtuous.org\/raise\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/03\/DTD_RaiseDonors_Promoting-Corporate-Philanthropy-During-Critical-Times_header1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"870\" height=\"150\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>1. Stay up-to-date with the news.<\/h2>\n<p>Keeping up with current events is always crucial in the nonprofit industry, but now more than ever. Staying accurately informed is vital, both for your own sake and for your supporters and constituents. This is important for two main reasons:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You don\u2019t want to spread misinformation. Sharing false information, even if you believe it to be true at the time, can be one of the most damaging things you could do. There are so many news outlets circulating vastly different stories that it may be hard to understand what\u2019s happening in the world around us. Don\u2019t let your nonprofit become one more source of confusion but <i>do<\/i> join the conversation in meaningful ways, speaking to your own specific perspective.<\/li>\n<li>You don\u2019t want to appear tone deaf. On the other hand, some organizations may choose to remain silent amidst the chaos, potentially to avoid sharing inaccurate information. However, this strategy can be just as damaging by inadvertently communicating to your supporters that you\u2019re out of touch with reality and current events. The pandemic and its impacts are being felt by everyone, including your constituents, so you need to acknowledge it genuinely.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If your constituents have been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 crisis, whether that be medically or financially, it can be even more essential that you stay up-to-date with current happenings. Despite the logistical challenges your organization may currently face, your community needs you now more than ever.<\/p>\n<p>Do thorough research before making any sort of public statement, but remember that it is important that your network understands you\u2019re all in this together.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll need a solid understanding of the current situation for your constituents and community\u2014\u00a0 and to be in active communication with them\u2014 in order to begin taping into corporate philanthropy down the line.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5974\" src=\"https:\/\/virtuous.org\/raise\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/03\/DTD_RaiseDonors_Promoting-Corporate-Philanthropy-During-Critical-Times_header2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"870\" height=\"150\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>2. Improve your marketing and communications.<\/h2>\n<p>In a time like this, it\u2019s crucial that you maximize the effects of your marketing and communication efforts. Once you\u2019ve decided how to address the epidemic, it\u2019s important that you have the right tools and strategies in place to effectively communicate that with your audience.<\/p>\n<p>One way to do so is by implementing a strategic digital plan for your nonprofit. Consider these 4 crucial tips for better donor communication:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Set specific goals. It\u2019s important that you put specific goals in place, especially those that are S.M.A.R.T.\u2014 specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-bound. This can help define your organization\u2019s key objectives (fundraising, awareness, corporate philanthropy, etc.) and ensure that your whole team stays on track.<\/li>\n<li>Target a specific audience. Your nonprofit network likely contains a combination of donors, volunteers, staff, and other supporters. Even within the category of donors, they can be segmented into first-time, repeat, or lapsed\u2014 each of which should impact the way you relate to each individual.<\/li>\n<li>Use the best tools. You may think that, especially in a time of financial distress, you should save funds by taking on marketing and communication processes manually. While that may save initial funding, it can cost exponentially in time and resources. Therefore, it\u2019s better to invest in automated marketing tools and save time and money down the line.<\/li>\n<li>Analyze your results. It\u2019s important to compare your results with objectives and see in which areas you found successes and which areas offered room for improvement. Collecting and analyzing metrics like open rate, conversion rate, bounce rate, and more can allow you to better understand how your messages are reaching (or not reaching) your intended consumer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For more detailed information, check out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dnlomnimedia.com\/blog\/nonprofit-digital-strategy-steps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DNL OmniMedia\u2019s guide to crafting your nonprofit digital strategy<\/a>. Having an effective digital marketing plan in place is essential for interacting with your supporters and constituents, especially in a time of uncertainty.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5975\" src=\"https:\/\/virtuous.org\/raise\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/03\/DTD_RaiseDonors_Promoting-Corporate-Philanthropy-During-Critical-Times_header3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"870\" height=\"150\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>3. Inform your supporters about matching gifts.<\/h2>\n<p>Matching gifts are one form of corporate philanthropy, in which a donor\u2019s employer agrees to financially match a gift made to a charitable organization. Thousands of employers take part in these matching gift programs, and they can be a great way to boost fundraising revenue\u2014 even when donors may not have a lot to spare.<\/p>\n<p>The problem, however, is that the vast majority of donors are completely unaware of their eligibility for matching gifts. That means that, <a href=\"https:\/\/doublethedonation.com\/tips\/matching-grant-resources\/matching-gift-statistics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">according to Double the Donation<\/a>, an estimated $4-7 billion in dedicated matching gift revenue is left on the table each year.<\/p>\n<p>With a comprehensive, up-to-date matching gift program database, donors simply enter the name of their employer and can immediately see the qualifications for their company\u2019s corporate giving program.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/virtuous.org\/raise\/marketing-matching-gifts-the-small-nonprofits-quick-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Marketing matching gifts<\/a> is essential for successfully leveraging corporate philanthropy. So how can you inform your generous donors of this opportunity to double their gifts?<\/p>\n<p>Here are a few examples:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Educate followers through social media.<\/li>\n<li>Embed a matching gifts database in your website.<\/li>\n<li>Inform within your donation page.<\/li>\n<li>Remind on your confirmation page and follow-up message.<\/li>\n<li>Send out matching gift request letters or emails.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You can find some great examples of matching gift letters <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fundraisingletters.org\/matching-gift-letters\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>\u2014 just download and customize to fit your donor base.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5976\" src=\"https:\/\/virtuous.org\/raise\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/03\/DTD_RaiseDonors_Promoting-Corporate-Philanthropy-During-Critical-Times_header4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"870\" height=\"150\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>4. Relate to the donor\u2019s current situation.<\/h2>\n<p>Going back to keeping up with current events and the importance of not appearing tone deaf, it\u2019s essential that you relate to each donor in the place where they currently are. Some of your donors may have lost their jobs, are unsure of their ability to pay bills, or may even be recovering from COVID-19 themselves.<\/p>\n<p>It can be difficult to <a href=\"https:\/\/virtuous.org\/raise\/4-ways-to-increase-the-desire-to-give-in-the-mind-of-a-donor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">harness the desire to give<\/a> in a global crisis like this one, but it\u2019s important that you do so by effectively relating to your donors. That\u2019s why it\u2019s so crucial that you recognize the situation for what it is, and avoid trying to downplay it for funding.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, try emphasizing the <a href=\"https:\/\/virtuous.org\/raise\/the-difference-between-giving-and-buying\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">difference between giving and buying<\/a>\u2014 such as the increased emotional reward that comes with the former. Focus on the impact each donor can make on their community when they choose to give to your organization.<\/p>\n<p>One great way to do this is by demonstrating the ways that your organization is already getting involved with the crisis response, whether that be through relief aid, medical supplies, or another facet. Position your organization\u2019s projects as investments in the community\u2019s recovery and health, and more donors will likely feel inclined to lend their support than if you solicit general funds in a very typical way.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5977\" src=\"https:\/\/virtuous.org\/raise\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/03\/DTD_RaiseDonors_Promoting-Corporate-Philanthropy-During-Critical-Times_header5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"870\" height=\"150\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>5. Explore volunteer grant opportunities.<\/h2>\n<p>Volunteer grant programs share many similarities with matching gifts, but differ in key fundamental ways. Both types of programs involve getting one\u2019s employer to make a financial contribution in response to an employee\u2019s support of a nonprofit organization. While matching gifts are in response to financial gifts, <a href=\"https:\/\/doublethedonation.com\/tips\/volunteer-grant-basics\/\">volunteer grants<\/a> are in response to an employee\u2019s gift of time and labor.<\/p>\n<p>However, many volunteer opportunities have been temporarily suspended due to the spread of the coronavirus. Still, consider these three ways to employ volunteer grants during a crisis:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Encourage previous volunteers to submit grant requests. Many employers accept volunteer grant requests for months after a volunteer gets involved. For this reason, you may be able to reach out to previous volunteers and encourage them to submit a request for a volunteer grant. This way, you can still get the boosted funding from before the pandemic began.<\/li>\n<li>Allow willing volunteers to get involved. Some organizations are still looking for volunteers to help out during this difficult time. If you\u2019re seeking volunteers to distribute supplies, offer medical assistance, or donate food, you may be able to find local volunteers eager to help out during a trying time.<\/li>\n<li>Seek virtual volunteers in a pandemic. Other volunteers and\/or organizations may not be comfortable with in-person volunteering events, for reasons of both volunteer and constituent safety. In this case, you can search for willing volunteers with basic tech skills to help you as you transition your organization into an online entity. Stay on the lookout for any supporters who may be able to offer in-kind donations of their digital services and know-how, like digital marketing, graphic design, and more.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Each employer offers unique eligibility criteria unique to their giving program, so it\u2019s important that your supporters are able to easily find these answers\u2014 with a volunteer grant database embedded on your website.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Just as you may be in a difficult financial situation at the moment, it\u2019s important to recognize that many of your nonprofit\u2019s supporters are in the same boat. By leveraging corporate philanthropy in your fundraising plan, you can better relate to your donors, demonstrate a larger impact for each gift, and make the most of every resource you have.
