If you’re looking to grow your monthly donor program to the next amazing level, this workshop is for you.

Aimed at: Beginner to Mid-Career to Advanced (anybody who doesn’t have a monthly giving program yet or wants to grow theirs).

This workshop will benefit anybody in Donor relations, Fundraising, Development, Communications, as well as Executive Directors of nonprofits of all sizes.

Monthly donors (Sustainers) are not just for big organizations with huge budgets any longer. Giving monthly has become more popular with donors of all ages and benefits organizations of all sizes. If there’s one thing the pandemic has taught us, it’s the importance of sustainable revenue coming in. Funds you can count on, no matter what happens.

The workshop will be filled with exercises, quizzes, discussions, statistics, proven approaches, new ideas, including approaches to storytelling, marketing, payment systems, reports and most of all: lots of sharing amongst organizations, all ready to test and implement in their organization immediately.
