Your nonprofit organization may struggle with keeping ongoing donors and in the everlasting search of new donors.
Sound familiar?
This is called donor churn. According to Giving Loop, “donor churn refers to the percentage of donors who choose to not donate again.”
So what is the ‘average’ amount of donor churn for nonprofit organizations? The Fundraising Effectiveness Project reports that donor retention, on average, is about 45%.
That means most nonprofits lose 55% of their donors every year.
Why is this so alarming?
Here’s the thing. Getting new donors vs. keeping existing donors costs WAY more.
In fact, Bloomerang states that the cost of acquiring new donors can far outweigh the dollars collected from them (50-100% more). So it makes sense that nonprofits should buckle down on retaining current donors.
But so many nonprofit organizations are not focused on boosting donor retention.
Why?
Many may understand the statistics and logical sense behind boosting donor retention, however they may not know what to do.
They may make a list:
But capacity behind doing a lot of these tasks may be more than a nonprofit can handle.
“Bonjoro is building the world’s first Customer Delight platform to help great teams build real relationships with their customers at scale.”
Simply put, Bonjoro is an amazing platform where your nonprofit can easily connect with donors via video.
I use Bonjoro and I love it. It’s been a great way that I have been able to send videos to customers and create a personalized relationship with them. In fact, an epiphany came to me one day where I thought…
“OMGEE…This would be excellent for nonprofits to build donor relationships!”
Clearly I am not the only one who thought this! When I reached out to Bonjoro to have a chat, they pointed me to their amazing nonprofit platform where they do this!
No downloading the video to upload somewhere else, to only get rejected by their email because the file is too large. Everything is streamlined.
There are definitely other ways that your nonprofit can use Bonjoro to boost donor retention.
