If you’re struggling with donor retention (let’s be real — who isn’t?), you need to hear this convo I had with my friend Sean Littman, founder of GiveSuite.com.

We got into the real talk about why retention in the nonprofit sector is so dismal (below 40% — yikes), and more importantly, what to actually do about it. 💡

Here’s a taste of what we covered: 

 -Why “continuing the conversation” works better than traditional follow-up

-How to build trust before you ask someone to coffee

-Why your quarterly impact report isn’t moving the needle

-How storytelling emails and small, creative offers can transform donor relationships

-The power of giving first to create real reciprocity

Sean dropped so many gems in this one — if you want to raise more money without burning out constantly chasing new donors, give it a listen. 🎧
