Welcome to the Donor Participation Project community!

The Donor Participation Project (DPP) convenes fundraising professionals who:

Are concerned about the nationwide decline in donor participation (20 million US households lost between 2000-2016).
Believe this can be solved by changing our fundraising practices and want to learn from peers who are moving the participation needle.

To that end, we meet monthly for a Lunch Analysis session:

A 45-minute meeting that is a part book club, part scholarly discussion, part brainstorming session, and part support group. Each Lunch Analysis covers a specific topic in donor participation and has required reading and discussion.

Visit the project's homepage to read about past sessions.

As a participant, you also have access to the video recordings of past sessions. Email Louis if you'd like access to the Google Drive with all past materials.
