Donor retention continues to be a problem for nonprofit organizations. Many organizations spend a lot of time and energy on acquiring donors, concentrating more on volume, and don’t seem to be concerned that they’re churning through different donors year after year. Acquiring new donors is more expensive than keeping the ones you already have, so it’s important for you to keep track of your retention rate.

Improving your donor retention rate is likely at the top of your nonprofit’s priority list. Your organization should seek to retain donors at all levels, but it’s especially essential to create a major donor retention plan. These donors typically make up only around 20% of a nonprofit’s donor base, but they contribute a staggering 80% of funding (this is known as the Pareto principle or the 80/20 rule).

When someone you love dies, making a donation to a cause that was important to them can be a meaningful and comforting act. That’s why donors do it. If you’re the health fundraising sector, you already know this, because it’s very common there. If you haven’t come across memorial giving, it’s worth looking into. It’s a real motivation for some donors some of the time.
