Key Takeaways:

  • Timely and automated follow-up deepens donor relationships. Implementing email sequences and automation after events keeps donors engaged and connected to the cause.
  • Storytelling and valuable content create lasting impressions. Sharing organizational narratives and offering resources like lead magnets builds trust and sustained interest.
  • Strategic digital tools amplify reach and efficiency. Leveraging tools like Google Ad Grants and evergreen funnels helps nonprofits expand impact without overextending teams.
  • Consistency and personalization drive long-term growth. Moving beyond siloed efforts to create ongoing, tailored conversations is key to transforming donor engagement and revenue.

 

“Retention is key. Follow-ups are key. Staying on top of your people is key." 

 

"Software is not just a solution. It's a strategy."

 

"You have to be the answer that people are searching for on the internet."
