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

Whether you’re just getting started or refining your stewardship strategy, this episode is your playbook for making summer count.

📅 The Nonprofit Podcast is taking a short summer break; we’ll return with all-new content on June 26th. Until then, we'll share some of our most popular episodes, getting you ready to meet the balance of 2025 strategy strong.
