Most nonprofits think “loyalty program” means points, perks, or tote bags. But that’s not what donors really want. They want belonging. In this episode of The Million Dollar Nonprofit, Tom Kelly shows you how to build a donor loyalty program that’s simple, scalable, and actually keeps donors engaged for the long haul.


You’ll learn the 3-step framework—Name, Nurture, Notice—to give your program identity, create meaningful touchpoints, and celebrate milestones that make donors feel seen. Plus, you’ll hear a real-world example of a nonprofit that tripled their donor retention by turning supporters into insiders. If you want donors who don’t just give once but stick around for years, this is the episode for you.
