New donors are coming in.

But are they staying?

For many nonprofits, the real problem isn’t donor acquisition—it’s donor retention. New names replace old ones, and the donor base barely grows.

→ Share impact without always asking
→ Personalize communication
→ Make stewardship more frequent than solicitation

Retention is where sustainable fundraising starts.
