Only an estimated 19 percent of first-time donors return to make another donation.
At this alarming rate, the work your nonprofit does to attract support is essential. And it’s essential that you do it over and over and over again.
What if you could increase that donor retention rate? What if, rather than reinvesting in donor acquisition over and over again, your nonprofit could focus on less costly activities like retention efforts?
Imagine what your nonprofit could accomplish if your supporters were so devoted that you could depend on their monthly investments.
With the right donor engagement strategy, that vision can become a reality. To help you develop an effective communications cadence that nurtures new donors, we created 13 donor retention email templates like the one pictured here and packaged them in the guide below.
