The Cost of Getting This Wrong

Every day a Donor Relations Manager position stays open, your organization loses ground.

Donor retention rates average just 45% — stewardship quality is the primary retention lever

Managers must manage acknowledgment, reporting, events, and personalized donor engagement

Finding managers with both database management skills and relationship-building ability is rare
