If you’re still addressing your appeals with a generic, “To Whom It May Concern …,” then you’re likely turning off potential donors before they ever read the first paragraph.

But mass-targeted greetings such as these are cold, impersonal, and rather effortless and could be aimed at anybody in your database. Your audience is accustomed to personalization and customization with everything from their order at Starbuck’s to the picture on their iPhone home screens.

The same holds true for the way your organization communicates with supporters. The more personal you can be, the more effective you’ll be in reaching your audience with your message. Because successful fundraising lives and dies on the type of connection you’re able to make with potential donors, it’s imperative you get this piece right.
