Donor Re-engagement

    Win back lapsed donors before they're truly gone.

    Re-engaging a lapsed donor costs 5× less than acquiring a new one. Gratefully identifies your LYBUNT and SYBUNT donors, scores them by likelihood to return, and drafts context-aware outreach that acknowledges the gap without making it awkward.

    What Gratefully Does

    Most donors don't leave loudly. They just quietly stop.

    The warning signs are in your data; dropping email engagement, missed renewals, event absence. Gratefully reads them before the donor has made up their mind.

    LYBUNT & SYBUNT recovery

    Automatically segments your lapsed donors by recency, giving history, and engagement signals, prioritized by who is most likely to return.

    Context-aware messaging

    Every re-engagement message references the donor's specific history, past program connection, and real impact stories, not a generic 'we miss you' template.

    Intelligent segmentation

    Identifies which lapsed donors are most likely to return and suggests the right approach; personal call, email sequence, or handwritten note from leadership.

    Multi-touch campaigns

    Create thoughtful re-engagement sequences that bring donors back without feeling pushy. Gratefully spaces touchpoints intelligently and adjusts based on engagement.

    Win-back rate tracking

    Monitor your re-engagement success with clear metrics. See which messages work, and let Gratefully refine its recommendations over time.

    Reactivation playbooks

    Pre-built playbooks for major donor lapse, recurring gift cancellation, event attendee who never converted, all customizable to your voice.
