Join Sabrina Walker Hernandez for this 90-minute interactive nonprofit webinar where she will show you how to develop a cultivation and stewardship plan for donor retention.

75% of the fundraising process is cultivation and stewardship. If you want to attract and retain donors, you must have a plan. A good plan will help your nonprofit create connections with potential, current, and lapsed donors that will inspire them to give again and again and again. 

Cultivation is building the relationship with the donor before the ask. 

Stewardship is deepening and expanding relationships with donors after the ask.

Strategic cultivation and stewardship plans when implemented correctly, will:

● Engage current Board members in the fundraising process;

● Lay the groundwork for making the ask;

    And

● Increase donor retention. 

Based on a number of studies, the most common reasons a donor stops giving to a nonprofit involve cultivation and stewardship. They think the charity didn’t need them, they were never thanked for their donation or they received no information on how their money was used.

At the end of this 90-minute nonprofit course, you will have the knowledge and tools to create and execute a cultivation and stewardship plan for your nonprofit that actively addresses the most common reasons donors stop giving so you can retain your donors. 

Join this nonprofit webinar and learn, step by step, how to reach potential donors, get new donors, retain your existing donors, and take your fundraising to the next level!
