Loyal, engaged, and satisfied donors or customers are the ones who keep coming back. The study’s author, Daniel Mihai, had direct experience with this as he is the founder of the Anu Initiative, a not-for-profit startup designed to connect donors with the impact generated by their contributions through the use of non-tradeable NFTs.
