As a bonus, thank-you letters increase donor loyalty, strengthen relationships with your donors and increase your chances of receiving more gifts in the future.

Show your gratitude by repeating Colts Malik Hooker Jersey , in a few different ways, that you are thankful for your donor's gift.

Be specific if possible.
Mention the size of the gift, or the date that you received the gift, or at least say "Thank you for your recent gift." Donors are busy people who need to be reminded that they responded to your appeal.

Show how the donor's gift is being successful.
