1.   New Research
Abila's Donor Loyalty Study
Findings to Help Boost Retention
Building upon their 2015 Donor Engagement Study, in early 2016, Abila and Finn Partners surveyed a diverse cross-section of 1,136 active donors nationwide to discover what factors drive their loyalty to the nonprofits they support.

Findings reinforce the importance of personalizing communications with donors, providing donors regular opportunities to become more involved with your nonprofit beyond simply writing a check, and offering regular, compelling content.

Sections include Donor Behaviors, Content, Recognition & Personalization, and Money & How It Is Used. The report also provides break-out analyses by generation and high-wealth donors. With reader-friendly graphics and charts, this 22-page report is a "must-read!"
