Love your donors - Developing Donor CareFiona McPhee
Donor care can be proactive and reactive. This session looked at both sides of the fence covering:
* a framework for managing the reactive side - responding to your donors when they contact you so you are building stronger relationships
* ideas for proactive donor care you can test to increase your donor retention and understanding of your donors
In an environment of declining retention rates, standing out from the crowd will take excellent donor care. Knowing how to assess your current level of care, identify gaps and opportunities and make changes to focus on your donors and not your organisation can be challenging. This session looked at frameworks and ideas to start making positive change.

Weekend in Boca VII - Diane Remin - “Raise More Money by Keeping Your Donors:...OfficeDepotFoundation
Presentation by Diane Remin, Founder and President, MajorDonors.com, at the Office Depot Foundation's 2014 Weekend in Boca Civil Society Leadership Symposium
You go all out to get donations. But are you negating all of the time and money you expend to get a gift when it comes to keeping those donors? Statistics say you are. The donor retention rate in the US has tumbled to a dismal 43%. That means lost donors at all levels—including potential major ones!
You will leave this workshop with strategies and techniques to:
• Translate research into practical action steps for your nonprofit to raise more money
• Use storytelling to transform something as mundane as a gift acknowledgement into a powerful donor stewardship communication.
• Increase the likelihood your donors will keep on giving—and at higher levels.

2. Segment and
communicate promptly
3. Phone calls to first time
donors
4. Send a survey to get
their input
5. Share impact storytelling
to emphasize the
importance of their
donation

Consider calling them? This
could start to build a new
relationship. A three-minute
phone call will boost 1st
year retention by 30%.
Acknowledge their first gift
and explain how it will be
used. Tell a story and set
stage for what will come
next.
Do something special?
Consider sending a video
thank you. Recognize that
they have gone above and
beyond. Consider follow-up
for recurring giving.
Acknowledge their gift with
gratitude. Consider
reaching out to get
feedback.
31. Consider
phone calls for
first-time
donors
Research into the efficacy of phone
calls to first-time donors
First-time donors who get a personal thank
you within 48 hours are 4x more likely to give
a second gift. (McConkey-Johnston International UK)
A thank-you call from a board member to a
newly acquired donor within 24 hours of
receiving the gifts will increase their next gift
by 39%. (Penelope Burk)
Thank-you calls to first-time donors
increases:
● the retention rate
● speed to second gift
● the amount of the second gift
