December 19, 2018

Whether it’s fundraising, volunteering, or monthly giving, your existing donors are ideal prospects. In the Donor Retention Handbook, you’ll learn why retention is so important, what it takes to convince a donor to give again, and how to foster long-term relationships with your supporters.
