Sustainers that Stick: Myths, Facts, and Effective Techniques for Sustainer Acquisition

Sustainers that Stick: Myths, Facts, and Effective Techniques for Sustainer Acquisition

Wednesday, June 17, 2026 (12:00 PM - 1:00 PM) (EDT)

Description

Are you chasing monthly donors or building a foundation of long-term loyalty? In the rush to grow recurring revenue, many organizations fall into the trap of high-volume acquisition that results in even higher attrition. To build a program that lasts, nonprofits must move beyond "acquisition at any cost" and focus on the strategies that drive true Lifetime Value (LTV).

Join us for a dynamic panel featuring three nonprofit leaders who have successfully cracked the code on retention-focused acquisition. Through a series of real-world case studies, our experts will debunk common industry myths and share the techniques they used to identify, convert, and keep their most loyal supporters.

Evidence-Based Acquisition
An honest look at which channels deliver high-volume leads versus high-value donors, backed by performance data from the field.

Sustainer Success in Action
