Gain Donors - Prevent Losses
Have Fun Asking - Feel Good About Giving Again

But is it worth the investment?
Do this now please . . . ask yourself these quick questions:
1. How much does it actually cost you to recruit one new donor?
(Note: On average it takes at least 12 months of donations to recover the real costs)
2. What is the life-time cost of losing a donor?
(Lost donations, good will, tarnished reputation)
3. What exactly caused each of your major donors to start giving to you . . . and what will stop them?
(Debriefing best, lapsed and lost donors is a critical skill and commitment)
4. What are the six kinds of "donor fatigue" and how do you honor, prevent, assess and assist
donors to recover from them? (Like a cancer, early detection and treatment are essential)
5. How can you help fatigued donors press their own re-set buttons and give again by applying the
brain-chemistry research findings of positive-uplift psychology to respectfully deliver the givers high?
(Unless you are putting positive-uplift psychology to work, you are missing a piece of the puzzle)

“In today's world, nonprofits must be highly resilient in order to survive. These impressive, practical guidelines are 'must read' and 'must do'.”
- Al Siebert, PhD, Director of the Resiliency Center and
  Author of the Resiliency Advantage. www.resiliencycenter.com

“. . . your tool kit draws attention to important and understudied issues in philanthropy. It is grounded in the newest research in this area, yet draws attention to key aspects of giving and receiving that have been neglected by researchers and really should be the focus of more empirical attention.”

  Co-author of “Tis Healthier To Give Than To Receive”
