Zack and his team were preparing to discuss their donor communications when they watched GlobalGiving’s Online Fundraising Academy webinar: How to Write Earth-Changing Emails, which inspired them to do things differently. “It was an awakening to think not just, ‘what have we done well and how can we repeat it?’ but ‘what new risks can we take to improve donor emotional proximity?'”

“We’ve learned that when we may be in a rut when it comes to donor communications, we need to be more receptive to reforming our methods each and every time we communicate.”
— Zack, WISER International Project Leader

Zack and the Wiser International team learned the importance of taking smart risks, especially when it comes to growing donor relationships. Although blind repetition can be a safe move when you are short for time, he and the team learned the benefit of staying ‘flexible and fresh’ in their external face and identity to maintain donor engagement. Check out the awesome video they came up with as a result!
