Presented by Carey Schmitt, Plentiful, LLC Session Description: Nonprofit organizations work hard and invest significantly to acquire donors. However, national studies demonstrate that the majority of first-time donors do not give again the next year. This places significant pressure on finding new donors to replace those who lapsed, all while trying to also grow contributed income. And that, of course, is in addition to the many other roles nonprofit staff members must play. This session focuses on why retaining donors must be a priority and provides ideas on how to manage relationships to create loyal donors. We’ll explore ways to make development programs sustainable and productive. Plentiful Workshop: Reasons to Return: Building Donor Retention Karl S.

We invite you to listen and learn about organizational Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) policy and why it is important to your nonprofit.
