I’m running out of steam on these daily posts but we are so close to the end.
How are you doing on your requests for donations?
Giving Tuesday came early this year! I actually had emails about donations last month.
I have a spreadsheet with the dates so I can see when I last gave and how much. I give 1x a year at the time I want to give. No one gets monthly access to my bank account.
If the organization has a complex online donation system — if I have to create an account, if there are popups trying to squeeze a little more out of me, or extra amounts tacked on at the end — this is cause for termination.
I love supporting organizations that are meaningful to me but if the process is a turnoff, I can always find someplace else that needs it.
