"Retaining and Engaging Donors Gained During the Pandemic"
Presented by Jim Bush

Many nonprofits saw skyrocketing numbers of new donors since March 2020. Donors are problem solvers at heart, and in the middle of the pandemic, they went to work.

Join us as we outline some easy-to-implement strategies designed to maximize your donor retention rate with topics such as cultivating and stewarding donors to greater giving and prioritizing your time and effort!
