Hey !
Do you know about the five stages of the donor cycle? The donor cycle helps you understand the relationship stage you're in with your donors – from building a relationship, to converting, to creating life long supporters.
Identification: During this stage, your organization is identifying who is part of your target audience.
Qualification: Once you've identified your audience, you then determine if people are actually interested in giving or care about your organization's mission.
Cultivation: Prior to the ask, your organization should do the work to engage and cultivate a relationship with as many qualified leads as possible.
Solicitation: The most direct stage of the donor cycle is the ask. Once you've created a relationship, you can formulate a direct ask.
Stewardship & recognition: The most important part of the donor cycle - retaining donors long-term. This stage requires sustained engagement with your donors to prevent lapse.
The funny thing about the donor cycle is that's it's happening - whether you put effort into it or not. By understanding the stages of your donor relationships, your organization can harness that information to create more effective fundraising strategies, boost engagement, increase retention and create more recurring donors – all of which drive a greater impact for you organization.
Let's explore more about donor cycles, segmentation, and marketing.
Cheers,
Camber
