Lastly, Nancy spoke to the inspired crowd about cultivating your nonprofits donor list. Acquiring your lowest level; the $25-$50 donors who Nancy referred to as the “sand” and growing this group to mid-level donors who get the most information from the organization and donate more, to ultimately the high end donors who donate the most.
