Stop Losing 81% of Your Online Donors: How to Turn Clicks into Lifetime Supporters

Most organizations work hard to generate interest through events, direct mail, social media, email, and word of mouth. But online, a common pattern shows up. People click, reach the donation page, and then leave.

Industry benchmarks show that over 80% of people who reach a donation form abandon without giving. Even when your campaigns work, you may still only be driving clicks—not donations.

This session introduces a simple shift. Stop treating the donation page as the finish line. The real opportunity is to stay in front of the people who already raised their hand before they reach the form, after they abandon, and after they give. When you stay visible, more people come back, complete a gift, and keep supporting your mission over time.

You will leave with clear next steps you can apply using the channels you already have, without adding headcount or rebuilding your tech stack.
