DONOR EXPERIENCE & ENGAGEMENT PROGRAM (D.E.E.P)

Allow Winspire to take you and your donors on an experience of a lifetime, while accelerating the cultivation period, and building deeper relationships in a shared experience.

Take Action

The costs of acquiring a new donor can be six to seven times more than retaining an existing donor. Just as important, donors who give over multiple years, give much more than those who don’t.

Build with current contributors by looking to the future. The time it takes to cultivate long-term, planned giving is abbreviated by D.E.E.P. weekends, which optimize your fundraiser’s relationship-building efforts. Long-term relationships are less transactional and more personal.

DESIGNING YOUR D.E.E.P WEEKEND

Most nonprofits plan a long weekend (Thursday afternoon / evening to Sunday afternoon / evening. Winspire’s unlimited access to global locations makes any theme or configuration possible.

LOCATION OPTIONS

Research your target donors to uncover their shared preferences and take them on an unforgettable journey that unlocks their imaginations.

GUIDED DISCUSSIONS

Make the most of your time with donors without stacking their whole weekend with lectures. Get to the point creatively with Winspire’s support.

CURATED ACTIVITIES

Orchestrate your patrons’ memories by leveling up activities. Exceptional views, food, music, conversation, and
adventures await.

TRADITIONAL VS OPTIMIZED
DONOR CULTIVATION

Traditional Donor Cultivation takes years to cultivate with one-on-one dinners, phone calls, handwritten notes, tours, meetings.

Optimized Donor Cultivation can be done in days with a strategic donor getaway weekend, curated by Winspire.
