Strong organizations are built not only by attracting new members but by creating meaningful experiences that inspire members to stay engaged. Join fellow Philanos Affiliates for a collaborative discussion on member retention as we share successful strategies, explore common challenges, and exchange practical ideas for building lasting connections that strengthen our giving circles.

All questions are good questions! Bring your membership questions and experience to share with fellow affiliates.

Comms for member retention

Great communication is at the heart of successful member retention. Join Communications Club for a collaborative conversation on how giving circles can use newsletters, email campaigns, social media, storytelling, member recognition, and other communication tools to keep members informed, engaged, and connected. Share what's working in your organization, learn from your peers, and leave with practical ideas to strengthen member retention through intentional communications.

All questions are good questions! Whether they are related to messaging or social media or tools for organizations or improved engagement with members/board/grantees or any organizational comms questions.

Check out the Philanos Affiliate Comms Club resources in our affiliate portal. We have a growing list of communications resources, “PR/Press Toolkits”, and links to recordings from previous discussions.

Bring your questions, experiences, and examples for an interactive conversation about supporting applicants and strengthening nonprofit relationships.

Explore creative fundraising approaches to fund priorities such as impact research, a website overhaul, or new grants management software.
