Sustainable Support: How to Grow Your Monthly Donor Base

Get your free guide to building a solid base of monthly donors who are as passionate about your cause as you are.

Every thriving nonprofit has one thing in common: a loyal community of monthly donors who believe deeply in its mission. This guide will show you how to build that community.

Our previous Monthly Giving ebook, The State of Monthly Giving in 2025, answered the question: ‘Why should I encourage donors to give to my cause monthly instead of once-off?’ Now, we bring you the ‘How?’

Once you’ve added a monthly giving option on your donation form, this guide is your roadmap to making it thrive. Learn how to inspire ongoing support by communicating your mission with clarity and purpose, gathering meaningful feedback, and showing donors the tangible impact of their generosity.

Inside, you’ll find step-by-step guidance to elevate your pitch, build donor loyalty, and transform one-time gifts into consistent contributions that fuel your cause year-round.

Get tactical tips and a printable checklist to help you strengthen relationships, increase donor retention, and create a sustainable foundation for your organization’s future.

Why should I cultivate a monthly donor base?

Recurring giving is preferred by donors and organizations alike. It generates a predictable source of revenue for nonprofits while giving donors added convenience, since they can set it up once, update it at their convenience, and don’t need regular reminders to support the cause they care about.

It’s time to focus your efforts on retaining donors, and recurring giving is the way to go. With a whopping 57% of donors already enrolled in a monthly giving program, your nonprofit can provide supporters the ability to give repeat donations by including several recurring donation intervals right on your donation form.
