Tips on how to write your messaging

Write as if you’re speaking directly to the donor.
Tailor your communication to the channel you’ll share it on.
Don’t be afraid to make it personal. Share what your cause means to you.
Be clear and specific about what you’re asking donors to support. Never assume people know about your cause or why funding is needed.
Be concise. Use simple language free of jargon and acronyms. Short sentences work best.
Have a clear call to action. Include instructions on exactly what you want the reader to do. For example: go to givingday.ubc.ca on April 3 to make your gift.
Add urgency. Mention time-sensitive goals or challenges you want to unlock to motivate people to give.
