Workshop: Recurring Gifts

*Note: Only one person/login per registration.

Overview

The more often a donor makes a gift, the more likely they are to continue giving in the future. That's why recurring or monthly donors—also known as "sustainers"—can be a critical part of an annual giving effort. Recurring gift programs not only offer an easy way for donors to provide ongoing support, but they can be an effective way to acquire new (and young!) donors, boost retention rates, and increase giving from current supporters to higher levels.

Join us on Thursday, August 1st, for an interactive online workshop that will provide you and your colleagues with a framework for increasing support through recurring gifts.

Participants will have an opportunity to:

Discover the latest trends and best practices in recurring gifts
Meet and get to know colleagues from other institutions
Find out how other organizations approach their work
View and discuss real examples, issues, and ideas
Examine your own efforts and identify opportunities for improvement
Obtain tools, templates, and other materials
Earn CFRE credit
And more!

This event is ideal for advancement professionals at educational institutions who wish to learn more about recurring gifts.
