International Tiger Day is fastly approaching, here is how we at Donor 360 are celebrating! International Tiger Day serves as a reminder of a dire need to protect these magnificent creatures and their habitats. Tigers, living in 13 Asian countries, are nearing extinction because of poaching, illegal wildlife trade, and habitat loss. Over the past century, 97% of their population has disappeared, leaving fewer than 4,000 tigers in the wild. The need to save these animals is urgent, as they now occupy less than seven percent of their original range and still face major threats from human activities.

Whether you are looking to expand your nonprofit’s advocate and donor base, market for an upcoming fundraiser, or keep supporters engaged and inspired, YouTube has a lot to offer.

Search engine optimization, or SEO, involves making changes to a website’s design or content in order to attract more organic search traffic. Strategic and consistent use of SEO builds your website’s credibility and authority, giving the website a better chance of ranking high in search results.

Are the gifts exciting and thoughtful, or are they the standard, mass-made products? What kind of impact do these gifts have on their recipients, the community, and the world?
