Hospitals who meet their PAC goal:
- Communicate the value of Friends to their members early and often
- Have senior leadership who give—and who articulate the importance of giving to hospital staff
- Host an after-hours and/or off-site meeting focused solely on the success of the Friends campaign
- Celebrate and steward donors who have given
Tips to meeting your PAC goal:
- Gather home addresses of potential donors and previous donors, including management teams, medical staff, and board members.
- Customize recruitment letter, print on Friends stationery, and include the Friends brochure.
- Mail each potential donor a letter and Friends brochure with donor card and envelope.
- Consider hosting an after-hours, off-site meeting.
- Use the key facts and advocacy success stories that will best reach your audiences.
- Encourage club membership.
- Send follow-up letters to potential donors.
- Send thank-you cards or letters to all contributors.
- Finally, make your own donation. If your hospital is close to making the goal, you may want to add enough to your donation to put you over the top.
