Do you wish your nonprofit had a team of donors who gave a gift every month, year in and year out?
Are you looking for ways to lower your fundraising costs while making your income more predictable?
Would you like to build long-lasting relationships with donors in an easy and cost-effective way?
If the answer to any of these questions is “yes,” then I invite you to join me for the next four weeks to lean how… through The Fundraising Authority’s newest class: How to Build a Monthly Giving Program at Your Nonprofit.
What is a Monthly Giving Program?
Monthly giving programs allow your organization to collect a certain amount from your donors’ credit cards or bank accounts every month to support your work. With these programs, your donors preauthorize your nonprofit to withdraw a gift every month, and your nonprofit reaps the rewards of having a stable base of recurring income that comes in every single month, without you having to make calls or send out reminder letters.
Monthly giving programs are immensely important because…
- Monthly giving donors give more to the organizations they support
- Organizations using monthly giving build a strong and predictable base of ongoing revenue
- Recurring payment programs allow nonprofits to lower fundraising costs
- Monthly giving donors have stronger relationships with the nonprofits they support and keep giving longer than other types of donors
Monthly giving doesn’t just happen – in order to launch a program at your nonprofit, you need to put a strong system in place and implement a plan for getting donors and prospects signed-up for the program. This class will teach you everything you need to know to implement a successful program at your organization.
