Six Insider Secrets of Running a Profitable Annual Fundraising Letter Program.

Proven techniques from the professionals for building
long-term relationships with your donors and members.

Running a successful annual fundraising letter program is getting harder by the week.

There are more non-profit organizations today than there were a week ago. And competition for your donor’s dollar is increasing—along with costs of printing and postage.

And yet direct mail fundraising remains one of the most cost-effective ways to raise funds. Many non-profit organizations depend on the mail for over 50% of their contributed income each year.

Over the years, successful direct mail fundraisers have discovered that the route to results lies in following some time-tested principles. Discover six of them in Six Insider Secrets of Running a Profitable Annual Fundraising Letter Program, the tenth Handbook in the Hands-On Fundraising Series, published by Andrew Spencer Publishing.
