*The FEP Donor Retention Supplement is a follow up to the FEP annual survey focusing exclusively on retention.  A vital part of any organization’s success is the retention of its supporters, and this supplement explores the relationship of retention to an organization’s size, age, sector, and average gift value.  This supplement provides benchmarks for the non-profit industry to compare retention rates and set strategies to improve them.
