CLIENT: Jewish Federation of Greater Middlesex County, NJ

Challenge

You might think that your high level donors know about your organization, after all they are giving substantial amounts of money. However, donors come to organizations in many ways, including others that bring them in, and donors might not know as much about your organization as you think.

We found that this was so for the Jewish Federation serving Greater Middlesex County, NJ. A survey among donors found that many were unfamiliar with all of the ways in which the organization builds value in the community.

So when we were tasked with creating the invitation for this group of influential donors, we saw it as an opportunity to help them understand more about the organization.

Solution

We used the theme of Transformation to ties together the speaker (A German who converted to Judaism), and the venue (an historic barn that had been relocated and restored) as well as convey the Federation’s work in transforming lives through the humanitarian aid that it provides. We included a paragraph about what the Federation is doing so that even those who may not attend the event can learn more about the organization’s work (notice the bottom photo and paragraph on the right hand panel of the invitation).

We have been using this tactic of “advertising” to the donors at every opportunity, to deepen ties with the organization.
