Every nonprofit worries about them. Laments them. Broods over them. They hang over us like a persistent shadow. The looming storm cloud in the far distance. A tangled web of worry and loss. Who am I talking about? Your lapsed donors. The ones who left you, and you don’t know why. Perhaps so much time has passed that you may be scared to reach out to them—or worse—ask why they left.

As federal and state legislative bodies have stalled from political polarization, many nonprofits find that traditional advocacy pathways are no longer viable to create systemic change for their clients and communities.
