[FREE WEBINAR] Why Do Donors Leave? (with Leichtag Foundation’s Sharyn Goodson & Jessica Kort)

North County Philanthropy Council October 17, 2018

Where does your organization focus most of its fundraising energy? Chances are, the answer is getting more donors. But what about keeping your current donors?

Research shows that nearly three out of every four new donors leave an organization and never come back.

This has led many to focus less on acquiring new supporters and more on nurturing the relationships that they already have.

Join us for this interactive webinar with Leichtag Foundation’s Vice President of Philanthropy Sharyn Goodson, and Senior Manager of Philanthropy & Communications Jessica Kort.

We will explore:

  • Why organizations lose donors and money
  • How keeping donors increases fundraising success
  • Opportunities to build donor relationships
  • Elements of a successful donor retention plan
