Donors are changing far faster today than most of the organizations they give to. Their expectations are rising at the very moment their trust and loyalty are declining. Unfortunately, far too many nonprofits fail to understand this reality. As a result they’re woefully unprepared to cope. Few organizations understand why their donors give… few bother seeking feedback and listening to their donors… and even fewer discipline themselves to diligently measure their donors’ exp

You’ve just made a wise decision: you are investing more in both donor-focused retention efforts and new ways to bring in the right donors for your program. Surely, your file will grow and your retention rate will increase. But when you look at the stats a year later, your file has grown. But your retention rate is down. Did you invest poorly? Congratulations.

Let’s start at the beginning. Almost 10 years ago, when MarketSmart was a marketing agency for private sector businesses and I first offered to help a charity generate leads, I recommended an outreach effort that included a mini-survey. It worked! So we expanded it to a more comprehensive survey and it worked even better. The only problem was that the organization didn’t have enough staff to call the highly qualified leads.

Employee recognition has often been deemed a "feel-good" initiative, tied closely to rewards. While we understand its importance, we tend to associate recognition with intangible outcomes like engagement and sentiment, rather than direct impacts on retention and high performance. In today’s workplace, the true ROI of recognition lies in its ability to regenerate tangible, business-driven results.

Jeff Brooks recently posted his 5 th Law of Fundraising, which is “The more effective the fundraising campaign, the more complaints it will generate.”. If this dictum were the law of gravity, I would have floated away. Some of my most effective campaigns have come in with donor notes that complimented the communication – a rarity. And some of my least effective campaigns have came with notes that included the scatological, the blasphemous, and the anatomically implausible.

1. Indecisive. They want and need to give and they might have organizations in mind, but they haven’t decided where to give yet. 2. Fearful. They are afraid to give impulsively. They’ve done that before and encountered donor remorse. So they put the money in the holding pen as a ‘circuit breaker’ 3. Unprepared. They have a good idea of which organization they want to give to but feel they still need to do their due diligence before they pull the trigger. 4.

If you’re thinking about starting a nonprofit and the plan is to use grants alone to get it funded—think again. So many first-timers think grants are the way to go as their main funding source. But, typically, most granting organizations won’t do startup work. They tend to prefer organizations with a history of success and a set of results to base decisions off of.

On Tuesday , I talked about how Simpson’s paradox means you shouldn’t use just overall retention as a metric. Rather, you want to pair it with subgroup metrics so someone doesn’t achieve their retention goals by cutting off acquisition. I’ll generalize from that. As Newton would have said if he were a direct marketer, each metric must have an equal and opposite metric.
