Lifetime Donor Model
The goal of donor development is to find the right kind of donor and then keep them for a lifetime.
Its all about pathways of engagement. From the first gift to a planned gift, every donor goes through a cycle. They give and give again. And over a lifetime, their gifts can be substantial.
The Lifetime Donor Model charts this pathway of long term donor engagement by creating memorable experiences and giving opportunities that bond them to the organization and motivate long term support.
While many organizations focus their fundraising on “getting the gift,” we focus on winning the “heart of the giver.” We believe generosity is life changing, even transforming for the donor as they experience the joy of giving to your cause over the course of many years.The Lifetime Donor Model is not complicated, yet most organizations violate many of its principles in their normal development practices. Let us show you how the model can bring your organization to new levels of effectiveness in fundraising.

I first heard Ron give a training session for charities that was outstanding. Since then, I’ve invited him to our annual staff development training retreat. He always delivers practical training that can help my team go out and raise more money tomorrow. I can’t think of a development professional with a better grasp of what works. His Biblical approach to fundraising is always inspiring.
