Episode notes

Stu joins us to share how nonprofits can use technology and data to significantly increase donor retention and long-term giving. With over 30 years of experience, he breaks down how organizations can better leverage the data they already have, implement simple but effective strategies to improve donor stewardship, and use tools like surveys and timely follow-ups—such as the critical 45-day touchpoint—to keep supporters engaged.

We also explore the growing impact of technology in the nonprofit sector, how even small organizations can make meaningful improvements, and practical ways to authentically thank and retain donors.
