Karen is a master at writing the effective, engaging and successful fundraising letter.
She has a special ability to capture the voice of the organization she is writing for and structuring each appeal for maximum engagement and response. The end-of-year letter she did with us generated more than $100,000 in giving, an all-time record for our organization. Karen is easy to work with, quick and I would be lost without her.
Karen gets it “write” the first time.
Very talented. With her speed and the value on my time where we do not have to redo something 6 times, she has been exceptionally cost effective.
As a professional writer for 15+ years I've learned that
People don't donate unless their emotions are involved.
If you’re not satisfied with the results of your last appeal letter, it could be because it wasn’t written in a storytelling style. Or maybe it did not use time-tested copywriting techniques that trigger an emotional response in your readers.
You see, donors don’t give because a nonprofit has a need. They give because something made them feel.
You shouldn’t have to feel frustrated or stressed every time your nonprofit needs to send out an appeal. Schedule a free Donor Communication Consultation with me — and avoid the stress of your next appeal letter.
Meet Karen the Writer
Hi! My name is Karen Martin, and I’ve been writing for nonprofits for 12 years.
I know you want to be a successful and efficient nonprofit director. In order to do that, you need appeal letters that raise money. But you have too much on your plate to write the appeal yourself, and those canned letters the print shop provides just aren’t raising the money you need.
You feel frustrated because you know people would give if they just understood your mission. It shouldn’t be this difficult to send an appeal letter that gets results.
I understand. As a former nonprofit director, I remember what it feels like to have to count nickels and the disappointment of fundraising appeals that flopped.
Here’s what I’ve learned: People only make a decision to donate when their emotions are involved.
When I started using time-tested copywriting and storytelling techniques in my clients’ appeal letters, they got better results. I can do the same for you.
All you have to do is:
1. Schedule a free Donor Communications Consultation.
2. Let me write your next appeal.
3. Sit back, relax and watch the donations roll in!
When you let me write your appeal letter, you won’t have to feel stressed around
appeal time or disappointed by lackluster results. Instead, you’ll feel confident knowing you’ve put it in the hands of a professional writer, and you can start looking forward to celebrating with your staff when your appeal meets your goal.
Our first step is a 10-15 minute Donor Communications Consultation by phone. This is free for you — so even if you don’t end up hiring me, you’ll walk away with a valuable tool you can use in all your donor communications.
