Sometimes fundraisers have to feed a large crowd, we have finite resources, both in staff and budgets, and we must strategize ways to satiate many donors with different interests and needs. By developing a recognition program based on donor behaviors, in lieu of arbitrary giving amounts, we can ensure we are communicating gratitude and impact to donors at all levels of giving. This webinar will assist you in identifying priority donor behaviors you need to reinforce, how to create personal communications to these groups, and strategy development to increase donor retention.
In this session, you will learn:
- How fundraisers can prioritize their work based on donor behavior
- The best ways fundraisers can show gratitude and appreciation to all their donors
- Strategies to skyrocket your donor retention results
