About This Session:
Do you ever feel like you’re on a fundraising treadmill? That you’re constantly looking for new donors because you aren’t keeping the ones you already have? Then you may need to change your stewardship approach. Because taking good care of donors, listening to and respecting them, is how you’ll raise more money (and get off that pesky treadmill).

Learn how during this webinar with Shanon Doolittle and leave with actionable steps you can take now to start building more gratifying, long-term relationships with your donors.
At the conclusion of this session, participates will have learned:
- How to write better thank you letters
