The Next Big Thing in Fundraising: Monthly Giving Programs: Yes. You heard me correctly.

The Benefits of Converting Donors to Monthly Giving
The Benefits of Converting Donors to Monthly Giving: What are the benefits of converting donors to monthly giving?
Cynthia's response:
Donors who opt for monthly giving demonstrate a strong commitment to their favourite causes. Not only do they provide regular, predictable income, they are the most likely constituents to leave a legacy to their charities of choice.
Sometimes referred to as "sustainers" or "recurring donors" this method of fundraising got its start in child sponsorship programs.
