Growing 'forever' donors: How to steward planned & major donors to maximize engagement & philanthropy

When a donor makes a bequest or major gift to a nonprofit, it’s a strong indicator of their passion for the cause, and loyalty to the organization. But many nonprofits don’t properly steward these donors beyond an initial “thank you.”

Effective stewardship of planned and major donors has the potential to create powerful ‘forever’ donors whose generosity creates positive impact over their whole lifetime.
