Donor Retention: Statistics, Strategies, and Best Practices for Nonprofits

With it being 5x more cost-effective to retain donors than recruit new ones, donor retention is essential to growing your fundraising.

But, I have some bad news: The average donor retention rate at an organization is only 45% — meaning most donors that give this year won’t give next year.

However, there’s some good news: You can easily employ strategies that help you increase your donor retention rates through our new course!

A small 10% increase in donor retention can greatly increase the lifetime value of your donor base by 200%.

Through this 3-part course, we’ll be diving deep into donor retention and help you craft a donor retention plan you can rely on to help increase retention rates and grow your fundraising.  

You’ll come away with a deep understanding of:

  • How to measure donor retention rates and identify donor segments primed for growth. 
  • Top donor retention strategies that are proven to increase donor retention rates. 
  • How you can develop lasting relationships with your donors through engagement. 
  • Crafting a specific plan that helps you practically implement donor retention strategies. 

This is a live course with two 60-minute webinar format classes and one optional 1-1 coaching session. You can view the class recording anytime.

Paid access to this course includes:

  • Access to slides + recordings of the two class sessions.
  • Donor Engagement and Retention Guide (PDF).
  • Donor Retention Calculator & Template (Spreadsheet).
  • 1-1 consultation with a fundraising coach.
  • CauseVox Basic Plan to help implement your donor retention plan.

Registration is ongoing and is available for $185.
