The Challenge of Monthly Giving?
Sustainer Upgrade ProgramWHAT IS IT? Traditional donors are asked to increase their annual gift through a variety of tactics
Sustaining / Recurring donors set their amount once and give in perpetuity at same amount
Technology limitations Emphasis on longevity, not
lifetime value of donor Testing with some clients reveals sustaining members give LESS over time without upgrade opportunities
HOW TO RESPOND Develop upgrade program to
encourage sustaining members to increase their gift amount
Leverage technology for online upgrade experience
Low tech call-to-upgrade potential
#16NTCOptimize
The OpportunitySustainer donations grew 16.8% in 2014 – 2x the overall growth rate of 8.07%
