Summer is here and camp staff is busy creating a magical experience for countless campers.
That transformational experience is why donors give to your camp. When’s the last time you shared one of those transformational stories with your donors?
We know the summer is incredibly busy. But what better time to remind your donors of why they give?
A powerful stewardship touchpoint like this doesn’t have to be expensive or time-consuming.
