How Virtual Donor Walls Reduce Your Workload

Because donors are investing in your mission, they love to see program and campaign outcomes. You can creatively showcase these results with a virtual wall, displaying vivid videos, images, and even different kinds of graphs. 

For example, say you finished a fundraising campaign that helped restore a historical building in your community. With a virtual wall, you can share before and after photos of the historic building with your donors, so they may see the impact of the campaign they contributed to. 

Offer Meaningful Communication 

Donors want to hear the latest news from your organization, and virtual walls are a fantastic tool to utilize for purposeful communication. With your virtual wall, you can offer updates on the latest events, campaign highlights, ways to get involved, and so much more. 

Offering meaningful communication is necessary to apply to donor retention strategies, and virtual donor walls make communicating with donors simple and seamless. 

Announce Giving Opportunities 

It helps to build awareness around the different ways for donors and prospective donors to give to your cause. For example, if you are fundraising for capital campaigns and are striving to reach your goals, feature a section around your virtual donor wall that creates awareness of that campaign.

Don’t forget that virtual walls can be synchronized with digital walls, so any special event or monthly donor program spotlighted on your digital donor wall can also be shown on your virtual wall.  

Report on Peer-to-Peer Campaigns

Peer-to-peer fundraising is when your committed donors organize their own fundraising campaigns to raise money for your nonprofit. This type of fundraising is an excellent addition to your fundraising effectiveness project and a smart way to spread the word about your mission. 

With your virtual wall, you can proudly show the progress of these peer-to-peer campaigns, which motivates other donors to start their own campaigns or contribute to an ongoing campaign. 

Show Appreciation for Volunteers 

Without the time and effort given by volunteers, your nonprofit would be unable to execute its mission successfully. Therefore, you must give volunteers the proper recognition they deserve, just as you recognize your donors. 

Virtual walls make it accessible for everyone to see the volunteers behind your nonprofit’s success. This can be displayed through volunteer spotlights or even a brief video of your volunteer discussing why it is essential that they dedicate their time to your cause. Showing this appreciation will surely persuade others to volunteer as well. 

Donor Highlights 

According to a statistic from DonorSearch, 88% of all charitable giving comes from a mere 12% of an organization's donors. In addition to highlighting your major donors, take the time to recognize your repeat donors who have steadily invested in your mission through your virtual wall. 

Ask specific donors if they agree to be featured on your wall, and, like with volunteers, ask them to do a brief video where they discuss the significance of investing in your nonprofit. By honoring your donors, you are leveraging that relationship, helping you retain donors and even increase your number of donors.
