During a crisis, donors continue to support nonprofits that they trust, and they find it much easier to drop those that they don’t.
3 Steps to Build Trust 1. Acknowledge that donors are negatively affected.
2. Offer sincere, personal gratitude when donors give.
3. Provide direct contact from the people in your organization who have influence with donors…leaders, volunteers, chief executive officers.
