Deep listening for donor retention

A tool to transform & strengthen your donor relationships

As we face tougher challenges for humanity, having an improved relationship with our donors and partners is essential for the accomplishment of our organisation’s mission and to promote real change and impact.

This session will approach a new way to relate with your donors: practicing deep and empathic listening. Deep listening contributes to getting into rapport with others, to building trust and goodwill, to deepening understanding, and to learning new ideas and perspectives. These are all aspects of relationship-building that can make a difference in your donor relationships and strengthen your impact.

Who is it for?

Fundraisers, development directors, executive directors, and anyone who wants to build meaningful relationships with donors, partners, and stakeholders.
