Every NPO dreams of increasing donations, but the real secret to sustainable growth lies not just in acquiring new donors—it’s in keeping existing ones engaged. Donor retention ensures stability, builds trust, and allows NPOs to focus on long-term projects.
Studies show that acquiring a new donor costs up to 5x more than retaining an existing one. When NPOs lose donors after one-time giving, they spend more time and resources chasing replacements. Strong donor retention, on the other hand, creates a reliable funding base.
