What is a recurring donation?

A recurring donation is a donation that is given to your project by the same donor each month for the same amount.

GlobalGiving makes it easy for donors to sign up for recurring monthly donations through your project page.

Consistent and reliable source of income

Long-term financial planning

Hassle free for you and the donor!

How is this campaign different?Target audience? (Mainly existing donors!)

Requires a bit more work on behalf of donors. (Make it as easy as possible!)

Stress the added value of recurring donations made during this campaign. ($12,000 in bonuses!)

Bigger commitment – bigger thank you? (Special recognition for recurring donors?)

I understand, but how do I get recurring donors?

Communicate!Make sure donors know the value of recurring

donations, including the importance of a predictable stream of income ($20/month vs. $240/year).

What can your organization do with these funds each month? Connect the donation with your work on the ground (e.g. $40/month covers a teacher’s salary in Liberia)

Communicate your goals with your donors (e.g. pay 10 teachers’ salaries through this campaign)

Make it Easy!Include clear instructions on how to make a

recurring donation in all your emails

Share screen steps or screenshot with your donors to make it easy to sign up: http://help.globalgiving.org/buckets/870/lessons/22180

Hold a fundraising event with a laptop where you can help people make their recurring donations

As always… Include photos and stories in your messaging

Use the deadline to create a sense of urgency

Remind donors of your threshold

Send personal notes to close donors

Follow up with reminder emails throughout the campaign
