Make summer your donor loyalty season, and set the stage for a better-funded fall.
The summer slowdown doesn’t have to mean lost momentum. It’s the perfect time to deepen donor relationships and build long-term support.
Join Jena as she lays out a practical, month-by-month plan to strengthen donor retention through the summer stretch. With donor attention divided and inboxes quiet, small, intentional touches now can lead to a more resilient, generous fall.
You'll discover:
✅ Segmentation strategies (with or without a CRM)
✅ A clear June to August retention roadmap
✅ Tactical ideas for acknowledgments, gratitude, and monthly asks
✅ Messaging tips to re-engage first-time, lapsed, and recurring donors
