Recovered donors

When a donor comes back, make it easy to stay.

When a lapsed donor gives again, GivFlow sends a thank-you with a small invitation to set up a recurring gift. No one has to spot it.

How this flow works
It starts when

A donor comes off Lapsed status, or gives again after lapsing. This flow runs per budget.

  1. 1
    A simple thank-you

    From your church’s address, in your words. Glad you’re back, thank you for giving.

  2. 2
    A small ask, only if it fits

    If they don’t already have a recurring gift, one easy link to set one up and build consistency.

  3. 3
    Replies reach a person

    Questions go to the reply-to person you choose.

It stops when the note is sent, or the donor sets up a recurring gift.
From Riverbend ChurchSample
Thank you for giving to Riverbend

Hi Jen,

We saw your gift come in this week. Thank you. It really does make a difference here.

If it would help, you can set up a recurring gift so your giving stays steady through busy seasons. Totally optional.

Sample. Replies go to the person your church chooses.

A signal of inconsistency

Recovered donors are often coming back from vacation or the holidays. Summer brings more swings between Lapsed and Recovered, which is exactly why recurring giving matters.

Why recurring helps

Recurring donors give 4X the number of gifts and 30–60% more dollars a year.

Per budget, Inactive excluded

Recovered is tracked for each budget, and donors marked Inactive are left out of follow-ups.

Every note comes from your church, and every reply reaches a person.

  • Replies go to who you choose
    Pick the reply-to person for each flow, like a pastor or your finance lead. Donors can always reach someone.
  • Unlimited senders
    Create as many senders as you need, each with its own display name and signature.
  • Context before it sends
    GivFlow reads giving history, budgets, pledges and donor status first, so each note fits the person.
  • Inactive donors are left out
    Donors marked Inactive are excluded from follow-ups automatically.
