Retaining Your Best Donors

Tuesday, March 31, at 12 noon, U.S. Eastern time
As nonprofit groups grapple with the recession, many fund raisers are seeking out new supporters.

But what about those who already give? Many fund-raising experts say it is important for nonprofit groups to take extra steps to keep their best donors during difficult times.

What are some of the best ways to improve ties to donors? How much communication is too much? And what are some common pitfalls for fund raisers as they seek to strengthen bonds with supporters?
