I would focus on getting to know the person in order to set up a face-to-face meeting or lunch. I have had clients who tell me that they have received large unexpected gifts and never met the donor. It's hard to arrange meetings, but getting to know someone is essential to keeping them engaged with your organization. Marshall Howard I always advise calling immediately!

There are at least two reasons to make the call right away: 1 - You'll feel great after you make the call and can leverage that feeling to call other potential donors. 2 - The donor feels great and will be more likely to donate again - soon. In terms of Google, I recommend that people use alerts to automate their research. See my post: http://www.corporatedollar.org/?p=298 John Haydon CorporateDollar.Org Jason,

I can only recall getting a thank you via phone a couple of times and it was very meaningful to me as a donor. Since it does happen so rarely it also makes your organization stand out.
