Keep More Donors, Raise More Money

»»» We are currently not providing any training or workshops (May 2024).

It's a fact. If you want to raise more money, you need to keep more of your donors.

21st century fundraising is all about retention. You need to understand what makes donors give - and what makes them want to give to you.

This fast-paced, half-day program will help you understand why donors give - and how to get them to give to you again and again.

Participants will leave with conversation starters and actionable ideas to take back to other staff and board members.
