📘 Introduction

As part of SayPro’s strategic effort to improve donor engagement and foster long-term, sustainable giving practices, the development of branded donor guides, brochures, and explainer videos plays a critical role. These resources serve as tangible touchpoints for potential and existing donors, providing them with the information they need to understand, trust, and commit to various planned giving options.

This document outlines a comprehensive strategy for designing, producing, and distributing SayPro-branded educational media, aligned with SCMR-2 objectives. The goal is to deliver clear, compelling, and visually cohesive content that empowers donors to make informed decisions and integrate SayPro into their legacy planning.

📑 Components of the Branded Materials Strategy

SayPro’s materials strategy consists of three core components:

3. Explainer Videos

Each of these components is tailored to specific stages of the donor journey—from awareness and consideration to decision and commitment.
