Strategies to Turn New 2020 Donors into Leadership Givers

EASY-TO-IMPLEMENT STRATEGIES DESIGNED TO BOOST RETENTION AND BETTER ENGAGE YOUR DONORS.

Four of every five new donors will not give you a second gift.  Consider the missed opportunities each of these four lapsed donors represent: future campaign lead gifts, trusted board members, annual major donors.  Capturing their interest is so much harder than keeping it…so how can we go from acquisition to major donor?

The number of new donors skyrocketed during the pandemic; it’s not too late to put strategies in place to make sure they return.  But the clock is ticking as we get further from 2020.
