Donor Journey Whitepaper
Build stronger supporter relationships across every stage of the donor experience.
Fundraising is necessary but challenging work. Recent years have seen it grow more challenging in several ways. The percentage of Australians donating to nonprofits has been in decline for a decade, and last year’s combination of disasters — from a catastrophic bushfire season to COVID-19 pandemic conditions — have caused significant upheaval in Australian lives, which necessarily impacted the sector.
The donor journey isn’t always a linear one. Donors can move between stages for different reasons — finances, living situations, interests, preferences. However, it can be a useful model in considering specific tactics for managing your supporters. This paper has divided the donor journey into four distinct phases, based on the goal of the non-profit during each one: Reach, Acquire, Retain and Engage.
