How are you inspiring and delighting – and sharing impact – on a regular basis? Find out why I loved Mercy Corps’ recent “Best Email You’ll Read All Day.” This week’s What’s in my Inbox.

How do you reassure your donors when there’s been a change in leadership? I loved this beautiful thank you note from a new executive director. This week’s What’s in my Mailbox.

The other day I received this email from a subscriber: Awhile back you posted an amazing lapsed donor letter from some sort of land preservation society (I think.) I loved the letter, used the format in my end of year appeal last year with great results. I CANNOT find the letter anywhere. Is there a repository somewhere on your site of past “what’s in my inbox” etc. that I could sift through? I have combed through your site and can’t figure out how to access it, though I am sure it’s here.
We’re working on a brand new searchable site. In the meantime, you can find most of our What’s in my Mailbox features here, and a great collection of Thank You Examples here.

Generation X Comes of Age As Donor Group With Major Potential. Timely read from The Chronicle of Philanthropy.

This week’s must-read from Mary Cahalane asks “are you setting up your development director to fail?”

Do read the Veritus’ Group series, How a Caseload Grows Over Time. And be sure to check out this complementary free download, Your Donor Love Toolkit, if you haven’t already.
