First Year Donor Communications

Welcome to the resource page for the “First-Year Donor Communications” workshop! As a nonprofit professional, building trust with your donors is essential to the success of your organization. One of the most effective ways to do so is through innovative communication strategies that create “wow” moments and deepen relationships.

In this workshop, we will explore techniques to create these moments, including developing a welcome series that converts into a second gift and building a first-year communications plan that retains more donors. We hope the resources here will provide valuable insights and tools to help you build stronger relationships with your donors and achieve your organization’s goals.
