EcoGreen Story
The EcoGreen Initiative is a Washington D.C. based non-profit with a lofty ambition to make the planet cleaner. The group provides education, training and policy development support to governmental entities globally that lack regulations for controlling industrial pollution and waste. Their work has positively impacted the health and welfare of citizens now living in cleaner communities. The rewards are many, but so are the costs. EcoGreen needed to increase awareness for their cause in order to garner greater financial support through fundraising efforts.
A local Safeguard consultant developed a plan, and recommended a smart mix of products and services that would do just that. It included:
- Full-Colour Newsletters to keep potential contributors, volunteers and corporate partners abreast of important topics.
- Promotional Tote Bags that create awareness while serving as thank-you gifts to benefactors and volunteers.
- Promotional Magnets imprinted with the logo, phone number and website of the EcoGreen Initiative.
Since implementing the Safeguard consultant's recommendations, EcoGreen Initiative fundraising volunteers report that the length of time from initial contact to first contribution has been shortened by an average of 7 days. In addition, average gift amounts per donor have increased by 13%. The organization plans to increase newsletter distribution next quarter — and that's good news for the planet.
Marketing Fact: Mail at least four times a year — you'll lose donor loyalty if you mail any less.
