The 14th-Annual
Annual Giving Appeal Exchange:
How To Share Paper Samples
1. Please tell us you’re participating by registering for the paper sample sharing at the bottom of this page and sign up BY WEDNESDAY, JUNE 26TH. We'll send an email as a follow-up confirming that you're registered.
2. Assemble 50 copies of all the annual giving appeals you wish to share. This can include kick-off appeals, holiday appeals, unit appeals, end-of-the-fiscal-year appeals, faculty/staff appeals, student appeals, parent appeals, donor honor rolls, acknowledgement letters, advertisements and anything else. Please do not send whole copies of magazines.
3. Here's the hardest part on your end... Please collate your own separate packets of samples before sending to us -- that is, 50 complete sets with one-of-each-sample you wish to share. That way, we can just grab a packet from your box and bundle it with the packets from other institutions. Put them in one big envelope, clamp them together, whatever.
4. Please email or mail us with your box of samples a pre-printed return UPS or Fed Ex shipping slip to pay for shipping for your paper sample box. (If you have a FedEx billing number, you can produce a pdf self-addressed return shipping slip via www.FedEx.com and email it to us as an attachment.)
5. Mail your box of paper mail sample packets to:
Grand Valley State University
Alumni House and Visitor Center
1 Campus Drive
Allendale, Michigan 49401
Attn: Jill Dooley
6. Please have all paper sample materials delivered or emailed by WEDNESDAY, JULY 10th and we plan to have a package in the mail to you by Wednesday, July 24th.
We invite you write a few paragraphs (email or Word document) and say a few words about your appeals. What worked well? What didn't? What are you most proud of? Help the other participants understand what "the rest of the story" was with your annual giving appeals.
We will compile a master listing of all participants and their contact names and will post it for participants who have additional questions about specific samples.
Institutions around the world are welcome to participate in the digital sample sharing. Paper sample participants are limited to the US and Canada. Please contact us if you any questions.
