7 steps to create a recurring donor program that will grow your organization’s sustainable revenue

Revenue from monthly giving has increased by 11% in the past year alone, accounting for 28% of all online gifts. It’s an easy, convenient way for donors to give without feeling extra pressure on their budgets. When you give your supporters the option to make recurring gifts, you’re giving them the opportunity to act out their values and express their love of your mission without needing to make a big financial sacrifice with a large one-time gift.

Setting up a monthly giving program is a great runway for donor retention, upgrades, and annual planning. However, taking that
first step to create a new program can be daunting. Don’t fret. DonorPerfect and Erica Waasdorp have partnered to create this new Monthly Giving Success Kit so you can take each step with confidence.

In this Success Kit, you will learn:
• The basics of a recurring giving program
• How to inspire your team to prioritize monthly giving
• When and how to ask your donors to join your recurring giving program
• What to do when a donor’s automatic payment method fails
• The immense value a recurring giving program can bring to your nonprofit!

Once you work through this guide, you’ll have everything in place to begin or grow your recurring donor program and generate the loyal donors you need to support your mission.
