Mind Your Mind Speaks Podcast: Episode 50
In this episode, you will hear a conversation between Cobb Collaborative’s Executive Director, Irene Barton, and Ronald Pruitt, Founder and President of 4aGoodCause.
Ronald talked about the value of monthly donors and likened it to building resiliency – when there are tough things that happen like loss of a grant, a stream of cash from monthly donors is incredibly valuable. Ronald shared that there is a 90% retention rate for recurring donors. It also costs less to retain donors v. sourcing new ones.
It is important to communicate with your recurring donors. The recent M+R Benchmark Study showed that monthly giving increased 42% through 2021. Ronald recommends engaging them through impact stories. Take the opportunity to thank them (or have a Board member do that). Additionally, it is important for nonprofits to make sure the mobile experience that their funders have is positive as more donors are engaging on their phones.
