# Steward donors by relationship tier

> Segmented thank-you speed, reporting rhythm, and upgrade paths treating donors as partners.

**Track:** 🌍 Nonprofit & Impact · **Domain:** Fundraising & Governance · **Level:** intermediate · **~35 min**

**Who this is for:** Nonprofit Leaders, Program Managers, Fundraisers, Board Members

## When to Use This Skill

Segmented thank-you speed, reporting rhythm, and upgrade paths treating donors as partners.
Use it whenever a matching task appears in conversation — the agent loads these instructions on demand.

## Steps

1. Thank within 48 hours for everyone; major gifts get a call from leadership
2. Segment by capacity × affinity, not just last gift size
3. Report impact BEFORE next ask, on a promised rhythm kept
4. Invite mid-tier into insider experiences (site visits, briefings) deliberately
5. Track second-gift conversion as the health metric that matters most
6. Lapse analysis quarterly: what changed before giving stopped?

## Common Pitfalls

- Silence between asks read as indifference
- Major donor treated identically to email-list donor
