We’ve got a new weekly feature over at pamelagrow.com, The Power of Nonprofit Storytelling, where every Monday we’ll be sharing exceptional storytelling examples and ideas. This week: How are you sharing your donor stories (definitely something you should be doing!)?

This week’s What’s in my Inbox was one of my all-time favorites. Take a look and see how Save the Chimps issued a June Wishlist Challenge to their supporters. Too much fun (I gave a box of almonds) and seamless from start to finish. Great way to add excitement and engagement to the boring old wish list (and definitely check out next month’s Online Fundraising class for more).

I get a lot of reader questions about my ’12-touches-a-year minimum’ recommendation in Simple Development Systems. The brilliant folks over at Agents of Good have yet another terrific example (I want you to pay particular attention to the response device) in this week’s What’s in my Mailbox. You’re going to love it!
