A Whopping 88% of the People Who Attended This Nonprofit Webinar Rated It As Great to Excellent!
If you’re like most nonprofits, according to Blackbaud, 75% of your first-time donors don’t make a second gift. This means that you are losing more donors than you are gaining, which obviously is not sustainable. The real problem? Nonprofits like yours spend most of their resources acquiring new donors, while neglecting the people who have already given!
Join John Haydon, one of the top online marketing and fundraising experts, as he shows you, step by step, how to keep more first-time donors! You will learn how to nurture new donor relationships with email and social media, how to boost retention with monthly giving, and even how to get your board members involved in retaining more donors.
