Thank You! Let's Talk About Donor Stewardship
Join us on January 19th at 11:00 am CST for a FREE workshop and create a simple, powerful, and sustainable stewardship program for 2023!
Most nonprofits are laser-focused on getting donors. But what about keeping them?
Well, the fact is…
😕 Over 70% of people that we recruit into organizations never come back and make another gift.
😕 The donor recapture rate is only 4%...when they're gone, they're gone!
😕 85% of donors say if they received a thank you phone call they’d probably give again…
😕 But most nonprofits don’t have a plan for saying thank you - and some of them never thank their donors at all!
Not Thanking Donors is Costing You Money
You probably have “send donor thank you’s” on your to-do list, where it waits…and waits…and waits…and never get done. But those thank you’s aren’t just a nice touch - they’re mission critical! The donor retention rate has hovered around 45% for years and years...and that means one out of every two donors won’t give again.
So, how can we create a simple, powerful, and sustainable stewardship program with four key strategies that you can create, automate, and put on auto-pilot?
Join us on January 19th to create everything you need for a kick-ass donor communications plan, from writing a great thank you to engaging monthly donors, to automating your process and putting it on autopilot!
You'll learn what to do, what not to do, and have access to our step-by-step guide, making the process easier than ever before!

"This company must be called Giant Squid because they somehow knew that I'd rather hug a giant squid than ask for money. Their relaxed joyfulness is catching, and I'm really grateful to have her guiding me through fundraising's uncharted (frigid, SLIMY) waters. ... I could not do it without the guidance of someone who understands how to transfer creative skills into asking skills." Sharron Bower Anderson - ATX Theatre
