Where will the organization be in five years?
Drawing a line in the sand.
Eliminating the “bump and run.”
A click away”: the furthest ever to be.
Donor acquisition: One size fits all vs. segmentation.

Know the lapsed donors. What else are they doing?
Finding the pipeline, or “Let me upgrade ya.”
To touch(point) or not to touch.
Avoiding once and done.
Know and tell. Leverage lifecycle messaging for LTV.
