In my discussions with donors over the years, the issue of continuing support to their charitable interests often comes up. Sometimes changes are in order for various reasons. The most disconcerting reason for such changes is that the charitable organization has lost touch with the donor. This can result from a change in previous staff, lack of communication regarding the impact of the gift, or just plain neglect. I am sometimes asked what my advice might be in such situations. Often a reconnection with the charity is order, but more than occasionally the donor has decided to change their support due to charity not making every effort to be worthy of the gift.
Is your organization worthy of a gift?
