Donor Retention Presentation Dubois County Community FoundationBloomerang
This document discusses strategies for improving donor retention rates. It notes that improving retention rates by just 5-10% can double the lifetime value of donors. It explores why loyalty matters and common reasons why people lapse in their donations. It then discusses taking a relationship approach over a transactional one, with retaining donors being the key focus. Specific strategies covered include ensuring strong thank you's, building donor commitment, implementing monthly giving programs, and managing service quality to address complaints. The overall message is that improving retention, even slightly, can significantly increase funds raised from donors over their lifetimes.
How To Boost Donor Retention Rates in 5 StepsBlackbaud
Katherine Niederer-Morris discusses how she increased donor retention rates at Lena Pope, a nonprofit that helps families in need, to 43%. She focuses on keeping an accurate donor database through regular reporting and address updates. She also emphasizes building personal relationships through frequent communication, coffee meetings to learn donor interests, and suggesting shared reading materials. Niederer-Morris credits leadership support, personalized thank you letters, and planned improvements like informal annual reports and construction tours for helping increase retention.
Donor Relationship Management (DRM) focuses on creating and enhancing long-term relationships with strategic donors through maximizing their total value and engagement. Acquiring donors is risky without understanding why they donate and their needs. Most organizations think they own donor relationships, but the opposite is true - donors own the relationship. To improve DRM, organizations must recognize donors control the relationship and focus on true engagement, service, and nurturing the relationship through understanding donors' interests, actions, attributes and passion over simply transactions. Prioritizing retention over acquisition will lead to greater nonprofit success in the future.
This document outlines factors related to donor retention and its impact. It shows that a 10% increase in retention could result in an immediate $20,000 cash lift and doubled lifetime donor value of $720,000. Reasons donors may lapse include factors outside an organization's control as well as factors they can address. Maintaining a relationship through thank you letters and customer service can help prevent lapses compared to just transactional solicitations. Tracking donor engagement indicators like monthly giving can result in 100% higher retention and 800% higher lifetime donor value.
Slides from Rachel Clemens of Creative Suitcase and Sean Doles of YMCA of Austin about how to increase donor retention through better donation pages, thank yous and campaign planning.
Donor Retention Education w/ Steven Shattuck (FREML)Bloomerang
The document discusses strategies for improving donor retention rates. It notes that less than 45% of fundraisers know their current retention rate and discusses how to calculate it. The key points are that first-time donor retention is only 29% currently, but repeat donor retention is higher at 64%. It provides tips for increasing retention such as focusing on first-time and above-average donors, thanking donors quickly and personally, and implementing a stewardship plan with segmented communications. Overall, the document emphasizes the importance of calculating retention rates, segmenting donors, and providing timely and personalized stewardship communications to improve donor loyalty and retention.
Tutorial on Social Donor Management - January 2015EverTrue
This document discusses how social donor management can help fundraising by leveraging data from social media platforms like Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter.

The document encourages moving beyond traditional donor segmentation based only on engagement and capacity to create a "donor graph" using social media interactions to identify opportunities.

Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.
Have you ever been confused by the myriad of choices offered by AWS for hosting a website or an API?
Lambda, Elastic Beanstalk, Lightsail, Amplify, S3 (and more!) can each host websites + APIs. But which one should we choose?
Which one is cheapest? Which one is fastest? Which one will scale to meet our needs?
Join me in this session as we dive into each AWS hosting service to determine which one is best for your scenario and explain why!

[OReilly Superstream] Occupy the Space: A grassroots guide to engineering (an...Jason Yip
The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?
HCL Notes and Domino License Cost Reduction in the World of DLAUpanagenda
Webinar Recording: https://www.panagenda.com/webinars/hcl-notes-and-domino-license-cost-reduction-in-the-world-of-dlau/
The introduction of DLAU and the CCB & CCX licensing model caused quite a stir in the HCL community. As a Notes and Domino customer, you may have faced challenges with unexpected user counts and license costs. You probably have questions on how this new licensing approach works and how to benefit from it. Most importantly, you likely have budget constraints and want to save money where possible. Don’t worry, we can help with all of this!
We’ll show you how to fix common misconfigurations that cause higher-than-expected user counts, and how to identify accounts which you can deactivate to save money. There are also frequent patterns that can cause unnecessary cost, like using a person document instead of a mail-in for shared mailboxes. We’ll provide examples and solutions for those as well. And naturally we’ll explain the new licensing model.
Join HCL Ambassador Marc Thomas in this webinar with a special guest appearance from Franz Walder. It will give you the tools and know-how to stay on top of what is going on with Domino licensing. You will be able lower your cost through an optimized configuration and keep it low going forward.
These topics will be covered
- Reducing license cost by finding and fixing misconfigurations and superfluous accounts
- How do CCB and CCX licenses really work?
- Understanding the DLAU tool and how to best utilize it
- Tips for common problem areas, like team mailboxes, functional/test users, etc
- Practical examples and best practices to implement right away
Introduction of Cybersecurity with OSS at Code Europe 2024Hiroshi SHIBATA
I develop the Ruby programming language, RubyGems, and Bundler, which are package managers for Ruby. Today, I will introduce how to enhance the security of your application using open-source software (OSS) examples from Ruby and RubyGems.
The first topic is CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). I have published CVEs many times. But what exactly is a CVE? I'll provide a basic understanding of CVEs and explain how to detect and handle vulnerabilities in OSS.
Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application.
I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.
