Magic not required to draw #donors closer.

How to stem the national average* loss of 50%+ of donors from one year to the next [Second post in series]:

1. Provide #networking opportunities for donor clusters to learn more about their #impact and to meet others with common interests.
2. Get out a pen and send a handwritten thank you note.
3. Find out how your donors prefer to be #acknowledged - or *not* as some prefer to stay anonymous.
4. Ask, "What can we do that no one else can?" and implement that experience for your donors.
5. Include your third-party #fundraisers on opportunities to meet with staff or #board members.
