1 Lesson from Me

Developing and scaling your monthly giving program is one of the best ways to increase overall donor retention, ensure steady cash flow, and deepen relationships with your donors. It also increases the likelihood of being included in your donor's legacy plans.

So, what’s the big deal about monthly giving?

  • The average monthly donor gives for 5 to 7 years?
  • Monthly donors are more likely than other donors to leave a legacy gift?
  • The average legacy gift in the U.S. is $78,630 according to a "Survey of Wills From Everyday People," published by the?Chronicle of Philanthropy
  • The U.S. average monthly gift is $51 for credit cards ($612 yearly) and $60 for EFT ($720 yearly)

To build, launch and scale a successful monthly giving program, you should first:?

  • Develop a written plan and a timeline
  • Brand your monthly giving program
  • Determine suggested monthly gift amounts
  • Identify appeal channels (e.g., direct mail, email, etc.)
  • Create a custom, branded landing page on your website
  • Establish measurable monthly giving program goals
