Charity is everywhere these days. From rounding up your total at the register at a store to donating on online crowdfunding sites, technology has made fundraising for causes and charities so much easier and efficient. However, with all this automated giving, how do we know that our money is going to where we think it’s going? And have you reached donor burnout? My friends at Good Scout want to know!
From the people outside of the grocery store to donation mailers, online crowdfunding to personal emails from friends, Good Scout wants to hear from you how they can help the donor experience by taking this short survey.
And as an added bonus for our readers who take the survey, those who sign up and are selected to participate in Good Scout’s focus group on donor experience (see the survey for participation request) will receive an Amazon.com gift card valued at $20.
Good Scout is a fabulous social good consultancy that helps brands, companies and even non-profit groups not only increase their fundraising efforts but also their transparency and efficiency. They help you maximize resources to create initiatives to grow funding and infrastructure while also working alongside current talent to guide new methods for providing customers the levels of transparency they demand, leveraging new methods of donor activation, from crowd-sourced corporate giving to online micro-donations.
Whether they are navigating the restructuring of an organization through nonprofit optimization services, enhancing a brand with new social good initiatives, or developing innovative cause platform strategies that engage and activate stakeholders, Good Scout has the real-world experience to guide leadership groups to new opportunities. Be it retail, online, through an event or in the mail, Good Scout is in search of donor preference, frequency and motivation as the charitable industry continues to evolve.
Here at The Healthy Voyager, we work with all sorts of groups and love that Good Scout can help so many achieve their fundraising goals in a simple and honest way.
