HOW TO UPGRADE DONORS AND BOOST REVENUE WITH DONOR SURVEYS
PRESENTED BY LYNNE WESTER & RACHEL MUIR, CFRE
When was the last time you asked your donors about their experience with your organization? It's time to stop making assumptions and start asking the right questions so you can make data-driven decisions that improve the donor experience, increase donor retention, and raise more money.
Do you know what inspires your donors to give? Hint: Donors give for their reasons, not yours. Donor satisfaction is the number one driver of donor loyalty. How satisfied are your donors with the communications and treatment they get from you?
Donor surveys are the key to unlock donor’s interests, make them feel connected to your cause, build the right appeals, grow your major gift pipeline and even optimize your current donor portfolio. Can donor surveys actually retain and upgrade your donors? Yes, and we will show you how!
Are you ready to…
-
Find your hidden gems?
-
Unlock 4, 5, 6 even 7 figure gifts?
-
Upgrade donors who could be giving more?
-
Enjoy rich rewarding satisfying and lucrative relationships with your donors?
-
Sleep better at night knowing your donors are happy and satisfied with the communication and treatment they get from you?
The Keys to Amazing Donor Surveys saves you from the costly pitfalls of most donor surveys (not to mention mountains of useless data) by showing you the magic formula to design surveys that drive donor giving and loyalty even if you have never created a survey before, don’t know where to start, or failed statistics in college.
Commercial businesses hold on to a whopping 94% of customers, so why can't we? Hint: they survey. A LOT! We’re giving you the keys to survey like the pros!
IS THIS COURSE FOR YOU?
You want to upgrade your donors, you want to up your retention. You’ve been told that donor surveys are the key to unlock their passions and commitment to your cause. But you have no clue where to start.
You know that if you do this poorly you could frustrate and lose your current donors. Rescue crews will have to be called to dig you out from mountains of useless and misleading data. You imagine yourself on a hamster wheel going over the possibilities and doing the same thing over and over. You don’t know the components of a good survey.

Lynne Wester, Principal and Founder, Donor Relations Guru, LLC
When I began my career years ago, there wasn't a go-to resource in the donor relations space. I founded Donor Relations Guru in 2010 on the belief that donor relations is the key to unlocking fundraising success and that organizations must be as dedicated to the donor experience, or DX, as they are to the ask itself.
Since then, I have led clients to be recognized on the national stage for fundraising innovation, creative communication, and groundbreaking donor relations work, and Donor Relations Guru has become an internationally recognized resource for samples, training, and thought leadership on donor relations and fundraising.
I put my heart and soul into helping nonprofits discover the power of a great donor relations program—and I like to have a little fun along the way. I partnered with Rachel for this course because I knew with our combined knowledge, innovative approaches, and our shared good sense of humor we could create an easy to follow course that provides a step-by-step solution for one of the most common pain points in our industry.

Rachel Muir, CFRE
I’ve started and run my own nonprofit, raised over 10 million dollars and was featured on Oprah, CNN and the Today show. I have helped thousands of fundraisers land big gifts, delight their donors, and love their jobs.
I was born to unsuspecting parents in 1971 and told as a child that girls were not good at math or science. That cost me a lot of opportunities, so I started a nonprofit in the living room of my apartment when I was 26 years old to empower girls in math, science, engineering and technology. Back then the idea of asking a wealthy person for a big gift was as appealing as jumping out of an airplane but pretty soon I was confidently raising 6 figure gifts and we were funding our dreams.
It took a lot of inspiration and a truck-load of guts to get to where I am today.
I built this course with Lynne because I was sick and tired of people struggling with surveys and not finding a solution, and because I wanted people to know that there is a solution. Not a possible solution but a sure-shot, carved-in-stone solution.
