Only three of ten first-time gifts to nonprofits are repeated, meaning that seven of those supporters wander away to support others.

This refresher workshop with Simone Joyaux reminds us, right smack in the middle of fundraising season, of what practical steps need to be taken to keep donors over the longer term.
