If you’re like most nonprofits, your donor bucket is leaking like a sieve.

• After the first gift, your bucket of first-time donors will be only about a quarter full.
• Median retention for all donors is just 43%.
• For multi-year donors it will be just a little over half full.
• The likelihood a donor will make five consecutive gifts is only 10 – 15%!

That’s why you should get this Donor-Centered Retention Solution Kit 

You need to know how to plug the holes in your bucket. To connect with your donors regularly — using a system of planned cultivation “touches” that deepen your donor’s loyalty.  This practical Solution Kit walks you step-by-step through creation of an intentional system of timely response that will maximize the lifetime value of your supporters. You’ll raise more money from the donors you already know.

If you can plug the “leaky bucket” and retain just 10% more of your supporters you can increase their lifetime value by 200%!

That’s why I call donor retention your ‘easy money’ strategy.

• It’s super expensive to acquire new donors, and did you know you’re likely going to lose more than 80% of these folks?
• And to make matters worse, the average retention rate for all donors is only 46%.

Too many nonprofits focus on the expensive money — donor acquisition and special events. These strategies do bring in new supporters, but the lion’s share of them are fly-by-night donors. They won’t stick with you — unless you prioritize donor retention.

The average nonprofit isn’t just losing three or four out of 10 new donors. In fact, you’re not even losing just half of your new donors. Oh, no!

You’re losing 8 out of 10 new donors!!!

These numbers are just not sustainable for most organizations. By the time you’ve added a new donor, the lion’s share of your previous new donors are out the door.

But there’s hope!

How would you like a system that triples the amount of money you get from all the new donors you bring in this year?  I’ll share with you the 9 key secrets that will boost your donor retention by leaps and bounds. Plus, you’ll be able to apply what you learn RIGHT AWAY.

 Does this sound like you? 

“Whenever our numbers are down I’m told to go out and find more new donors.”

I have no idea how many donors we should be renewing or upgrading.

“My boss doesn’t think it’s that important to get thank-you’s out promptly. Letters go to his office to die. I don’t know how to handle this. Help!”

“Getting everyone in the office on the same page is my greatest challenge.  It can be so difficult to get the stories and information I need to report back to donors, that sometimes I just send them another generic thank you.

Want to keep more donors? See them increase their gifts? The absolute best way to assure this happens is through a thoughtful donor-centered retention program that gradually increases your supporters’ loyalty over time.
