Most charities don’t lose donors because their cause isn’t worthy they lose them because donors don’t feel valued after they give.
Across the sector, 70–80% of first-time donors never give again. Not because they don’t care, but because the post-donation experience is weak, inconsistent, or impersonal. While charities spend heavily chasing new supporters, they quietly lose the donors they already worked hard to acquire.
In this practical 60-minute webinar, fundraising specialist Charles Alder reveals why donor attrition is one of the biggest hidden revenue leaks in charities and what can be done to fix it quickly.
You’ll learn why retaining a donor is 7–12 times cheaper than acquiring a new one, why receipts and automated emails aren’t enough, and why leadership involvement in thanking donors is one of the most underused fundraising tools available.
Most importantly, you’ll walk away with two simple actions you can implement immediately to improve donor retention and generate more income without new campaigns, extra staff, or bigger budgets.
