The Donor Relations Group
In modern fundraising, donor experience is the key to your nonprofit's success. Ignore it and your donors will find another organization to support. You must make your donors happy to keep them as loyal supporters of your mission.
The DRG Group is the preeminent authority in improving every aspect of the donor experience—from developing sound strategy and vision to creating meaningful donor engagement—all designed to help your organization raise more money.
Founded by visionary leader Lynne Wester, the DRG Group is grounded in the work of The Four Pillars of Donor Relations and The Four Pillars of Donor Relations. Both texts document a proven path toward increasing the bottom-line success of your organization’s fundraising efforts.The DRG Group services include assessment, coaching, events, facilitation, strategy, training, education and (growing most rapidly) outsourced donor relations services.
