The secret to keeping donors is...
​going all in on donor stewardship!

If you are like most nonprofits, you're losing donors at an alarming rate. Nearly 80% of first-time donors never come back to make a second gift.

That means 4 out of 5 first-time donors give up on you. But if you can get a second gift from a first-time donor, their retention rate more than TRIPLES!

​Your nonprofit can beat the odds and achieve your revenue goals.

On June 16, I was having a 'can't get started' morning - with an appeal due next day for my biggest DM client - and THIS formula saved my bacon!!! Thank you, Julie.

Julie's writing is off the charts. The writing project meets all the criteria and goals we hoped to accomplish. I am fully confident that this will be, hands down, the best written award proposal the foundation will receive.
