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?
