If you’re looking to make sustainers part of your overall fundraising strategy, you can’t afford to miss the NEW 3-part CharityHowTo Monthly donor workshop designed for the nonprofit professional who is looking to either establish or grow their monthly donor programs.

No matter the size of your organization, you will benefit from learning more about monthly giving – which has become popular with donors of all ages. In this action-packed workshop, filled with exercises, quizzes, and sharing, you’ll discover proven approaches and new ideas for storytelling, marketing, payment systems, reports, and statistics.  

You’ll come away with the stories, messaging and materials you can implement in your organization right away. 

We’ll look at sustainers from an omnichannel perspective: digital, mail, face-to-face, phone, text and social, while focusing on acquisition, stewardship, cultivation, retention, as well as extra gifts, upgrades and conversions. 

You’ll enjoy the opportunity to ask questions during discussions and, most of all, you’ll benefit from lots of sharing amongst organizations through break-out sessions. 

This workshop is broken out into three separate sessions on three separate dates:
