Grab a quick look into some common questions from our nonprofit audience.
The key is to segment your email list and allow contacts to choose the type and frequency of communication they receive. This may include monthly updates, volunteer opportunities, or program information. Experiment with weekly vs. monthly newsletters to find what works best for your audience and measure engagement in open rates and clicks to pivot proactively.
Listing smaller amounts first and larger ones last is generally more effective. Since donors choose the middle range, focus on the amounts you realistically hope to receive from your donor base.
Zeffy offers comprehensive reporting tools, such as donor profiles, contact list exports, donation tracking via UTM parameters, and payment and custom form reports. These features help automate data management, allowing nonprofits to focus on strategy and outreach.
Knowing how your donation forms perform will help you take action where it matters most.
