Audit the experience your donors actually have.

Retention starts at first contact. If the sign-up experience is confusing, the payment process fails, or the welcome series never arrives, you are losing donors before they have a chance to stay. We audit the full donor journey from street to file.

The Problem

Most F2F programs measure acquisition volume and hope retention follows. It doesn't. The donor experience from first interaction through payment confirmation and welcome communication determines whether a donor stays past month three. We audit every touchpoint and show you where donors fall off.

Who It's For

  • Programs with high first-90-day churn
  • Organizations with payment failure rates above 15%
  • Programs where donors complain but nobody tracks the pattern
  • Organizations launching or redesigning welcome series
