Why do people choose to give monthly?

I give monthly to 5 organizations, and when I look back, the reasons are clear:

1️⃣ They were top of mind (through cultural moments, bold content)

2️⃣ I had shared values (believe in the founder, or shared experiences)

3️⃣ They showed me how they were solving a problem (tied to a season, event, or milestone in my life)

💡Here’s the key: when I was interested in giving…they presented monthly giving as **the way** to align with my beliefs, make consistent progress, and do it in a reasonable financial way.

We’re not always going to know the magic moment of when to make the ask…although AI is getting pretty good at predictions!

✨ This giving season, asks don’t have to be monthly OR one-time. Give supporters both options and show the difference.

——

One of my favorite examples is from The Innocence Project:

➡️ One-time giving language:
“Donate to help free the innocent. Be a part of the Innocence Project’s groundbreaking work to free innocent people and transform the legal system. With your support, we can do even more — donate today.”

➡️ Monthly giving language:
“Help free the innocent every month. Monthly donors strengthen our work by ensuring we can plan in advance, continue without pause, and take powerful steps toward pushing the innocence movement forward.

Our clients’ cases take an average of 7 years before they’re freed. Monthly support allows us to keep fighting, no matter how long it takes.”

See the difference?

One-time meets immediate needs.
Monthly sustains long-term change.

Are you setting your donors up to choose recurring-first?

🎯 We got hyper specific on next steps together to reach our desired goals.

🍾 We celebrated.

☁️ We dreamed big.

But my favorite part of the Monthly Giving Retreat?

📩 Watching the post-event email thread light up with this group still supporting each other, weeks later!!

That’s the kind of fuel we all need heading into giving season.

So here’s your reminder: tag your crew!

👉 Who’s your go-to person (or team) for ideas, venting, and cheering you on?

Because your work is too important to do alone. 🤗

✨ Every movement starts with Believers.

A few voices who dared to say:
“A better world is possible.”

They believed women’s voices belonged in democracy → the suffrage movement was born.

They believed equality was worth fighting for → civil rights reshaped our world.

They believed in access to clean water, education, and dignity → and global movements rose up.

Movements don’t begin with millions.
They begin with a small group of Believers—neighbors, teachers, workers, parents, dreamers—who refuse to let go of a vision.

⚡️ And that’s what the 2026 Monthly Giving Summit is all about!!

The Believer Blueprint
SAVE THE DATE: February 25–26, 2026

This global nonprofit summit will answer one big question:

How do you attract Believers who fuel your mission month after month?

Because when Believers show up…
💥 Movements grow.
🏡 Communities change.
💸 The future gets funded.

🎯 6 Ways to Scale Your Monthly Giving Program This Giving Season

Planning for year-end fundraising?
Got events, major donors, and a board to impress?

Here’s the good news: your monthly giving program doesn’t need to compete with those priorities - it can amplify them. 🙌

Monthly giving is the sustainable fundraising strategy your nonprofit needs.

Here’s how to grow it while aligning with everything else you’re already doing 👇

1️⃣ Monthly giving = sustainability.
Your board wants long-term results? Show them this isn’t a “nice-to-have” -
it’s essential.

2️⃣ Use events as launchpads.
Don’t treat events as one-time wins. Use them to inspire recurring support.

3️⃣ EOY is key.
With a few messaging tweaks, year-end donors can become loyal sustainers.

4️⃣ Major donors fund visions.
Tie their big gifts to long-term impact. Monthly giving helps get you there.

5️⃣ Corporate sponsors want connection.
Monthly giving offers shared storytelling + deeper alignment. Invite them in.

6️⃣ Your team is ready.
Make monthly giving everyone’s mission - not just development’s job.

✨ Monthly giving isn’t extra - it’s the heartbeat of your fundraising strategy.

Want to see how it all works together?

📣 Know a powerful Black-led nonprofit?
Tag them. Celebrate them.

Let’s lift their voices and amplify their work!!!

This August, I’m proud to partner with in support of - a global campaign dedicated to advancing funding equity for Black-led nonprofits and the Black communities they serve. 🖤

Black-led organizations are at the heart of transformative work - leading movements, supporting families, building futures.

Yet, they’re often underfunded and overlooked.

That’s why this campaign matters.

Throughout August, over $50,000 in grants and nonprofit resources are available to help close the gap and fuel their impact. 💰 ✨

I’m so inspired by you, THANK YOU for all you do.

“Best monthly donation programs for education”
“How to support climate justice monthly”
“Recurring donation ideas for nonprofits”
…and landing on your post.

Here’s how to prep your content for search:

Rest is good for the soul. Being around people that uplift and make you belly laugh is essential.

Just back from an unforgettable trip to in Puerto Vallarta, the city where my husband and I were supposed to get married, then COVID happened 2 weeks before our wedding.

Now 5 years later, we went and had the best time with our friends celebrating so much love and life since then. ❤️

Make the time for the trip. For the moments. For the memories.
