DonorElevate is honored to announce our partnership with Folds of Honor Tennessee as they deepen relationships with the donors who make their mission possible, providing life-changing educational scholarships to the spouses and children of America's fallen and disabled service members and first responders.

Behind every Folds of Honor scholarship is a community of generous supporters. Stewarding those supporters well, keeping them connected to the families and futures they're helping fund, is one of the most important things a mission-driven organization can do. That's exactly the work this partnership is built to support.

A Partnership Built on Gratitude

Donors give to Folds of Honor because they believe deeply in the mission. The best way to honor that belief is to show them the impact of their generosity: consistently, personally, and authentically. Through this partnership, Folds of Honor Tennessee will use DonorElevate to make every donor feel like the partner in the mission that they are.

How Folds of Honor Tennessee Will Leverage DonorElevate

Instead of relying solely on generic newsletters and year-end appeals, the Folds of Honor Tennessee team will use DonorElevate to bring donors closer to the mission throughout the year. Specifically, the platform helps them:

Send personalized video updates that connect donors directly to scholarship recipients and the impact of their giving.
Steward major donors and recurring supporters with consistent, meaningful touchpoints, not just an annual ask.
Track donor engagement to identify their most invested supporters and new cultivation opportunities.
Free up staff and volunteers to focus on relationships and mission, rather than administrative overhead.

Sustaining the Mission for the Long Term

For an organization like Folds of Honor Tennessee, donor stewardship is mission-critical: the stronger and more durable each donor relationship, the more families they can serve. By pairing authentic, personal communication with real engagement data, the team can re-engage lapsed supporters before they're lost, recognize donors ready to deepen their commitment, and build the kind of emotional connection that turns a one-time gift into a lifetime of support.

"Folds of Honor Tennessee is doing work that matters in the deepest way. We're honored to help their team keep donors close to the mission and show every supporter the lives they're changing."

Ben Graves, DonorElevate Founder & CEO

Looking Ahead

As Folds of Honor Tennessee continues to grow the number of scholarships it awards each year, DonorElevate is proud to provide the tools that help their team keep donor relationships personal and their community of supporters engaged for the long haul.
