At DRG, we understand the true measure of success in fundraising isn't just about how much money you raise—it's about how many donors you retain year after year.​
​
Today, nonprofits face a significant challenge: many donors give once and never return. According to the Fundraising Effectiveness Project's Q1 2024 report, first-time donor retention rates have plummeted to just 7.2%, with repeat donor retention at only 24.8%.
We have a retention crisis on our hands—and it won't get better until we change the way we work. ​​​
Our new webinar series is designed to tackle this challenge head-on by introducing behavior-based donor relations strategies that focus on understanding and responding to donor behaviors.
​
These strategies have been proven to significantly improve donor retention and elevate the overall donor experience—and we're here to show you how!​
​​
Through four comprehensive webinars, you’ll gain the skills needed to implement these strategies at your organization, ensuring every donor feels valued and motivated to continue supporting your mission. Don't miss this opportunity to revolutionize your donor relations efforts, and create lasting relationships that sustain your nonprofit's success.
