FND 233 | Now What? Donor Stewardship
The key to donor loyalty? Being loyal to your donors. The donor relationship does not end with asking for funding, however. Stewardship is critically important in that it ensures that the donor has a positive experience, influencing both how the donor will consider future giving and what the donor will say about your institution to other prospective donors. An effective strategy for donor engagement and retention requires consistent planning and continuous action. With this course, you’ll understand how to develop your donor pipeline and move people through it, with techniques like regular contact and growth monitoring.
