Do you struggle with getting your arms around donor retention? This session will give an in-depth look at Oklahoma State University's efforts to define, understand, and improve donor retention - from an annual giving and major gift standpoint. We plan to share our experiences in working with a cross-functional team and will discuss the challenges and obstacles we faced along the way as we identified recommendations that would drive strategy and retain donors between campaigns. 

After this webinar, attendees will be able to:

  • Better examine retention at your organization
  • Define organization-wide retention at your organization
  • Build tracking and reporting around retention to drive strategy
  • Identify quick-win opportunities to improve retention
  • Create sustainable programs or strategies that will increase retention
