Missions to Movements How To Maintain a 98% Monthly Donor Retention Rate with Chive Charities's Erika Carley
Chive Charities has a dedicated monthly giving community of 4,000 donors that creates 70% of their revenue with a 98% month over month retention rate. Holy cow!
If you're like me, you're thinking: What's their acquisition for new supporters? What do giving amounts look like? What's the plan for retention?
So of course, I had to bring in Senior Director of Operations, Erika Carley, to share more about the incredible behind the scenes impact of their monthly giving program, the Green Ribbon Fund, which supports underserved veterans, military families, and first responders.
Together, we talk about the power of social impact storytelling, handwritten notes as a killer retention strategy, and how you can craft a successful, high-touch giving program.
