If you’re like the typical nonprofit, you probably have many small donors in your donor base. How can you keep them? How can you get them to give more and more often and, better yet, make them give on an ongoing basis? That’s where monthly donors are so powerful!

Did you know that 100 monthly donors are worth an average of $24,000 a year? That they’ll give two to four times more than other donors? That they’ll stay with you for 5 to 7 years (and often even longer)? That they’re 7 times more likely to leave you in their will? That’s very powerful, isn’t it?

In this on-demand webinar, you’ll learn the steps involved in starting a monthly donor program for your organization using the tools you already have in place. All you have to do is start asking!
