From First Gift to Faithful Partnership - Workshop
A Champion-Centered Approach to Recurring Giving
9:00 AM - 10:30 AM PDT
Event Information
The journey from a champion's first gift to becoming a fully invested recurring giver in your cause requires intentional relationship building. With recurring giving to nonprofits increasing year after year and becoming a preferred form of giving for many champions, it’s more critical than ever to develop this revenue stream. This workshop walks you through creating clear giving pathways and compelling impact language, then guides you in developing an onboarding process that sets expectations and builds trust from day one. Participants will leave with practical tools to grow sustainable relationships that benefit the giver, strengthen the organization, and advance the cause.
