Most charities do not lose donors because supporters stop caring.
They lose them because small breakdowns in the donor experience quietly push people away.
From the moment someone donates, every interaction either builds trust or erodes it. Delays, silence, generic communication, and unclear follow-up all create friction that leads to disengagement. Over time, these issues compound into significant revenue loss.
In this practical 60-minute Zoom session, fundraising specialist Charles Alder shows charities how to view their organisation through a donor’s eyes and identify exactly where donor relationships are breaking down.
You will learn how to audit the donor experience from first donation through the first year, where most charities unknowingly lose supporters, and how minor changes can deliver immediate retention gains.
Most importantly, you will leave with two simple actions you can implement immediately to close revenue leaks, improve donor experience, and increase donor lifetime value, without new campaigns, additional staff, or larger budgets.
