They met at a large nonprofit in Phoenix\, where they planned and executed high-performing donor communications and trained thousands of nonprofit grantees across the U.S. and Canada. These small-to-medium organizations struggled to consistently ask\, thank\, and report impact back to donors\, especially in the channel most donors prefer: mail. With friends\, Laura and Brianna founded Abeja in 2014 to deliver a complete and affordable solution to direct mail fundraising. They recently co-authored their first book\, How to Fundraise by Mail: A Digital Native’s Guide.
