Pre-Summit Workshop on Recurring Donor Acquisition

Most conversations about what works to grow recurring revenue lack substantial data and evidence. While it can be inspiring to see examples from complex organizations that are seemingly “doing it right”, building and growing your recurring giving program doesn’t have to be as complicated as some would have you think.

In this workshop from NextAfter, we’ll demystify what it really takes to acquire new recurring donors and build a more sustainable revenue source for your organization.

Over the duration of this workshop, you will discover:

The power and impact of investing in a sustainable recurring giving program.

Tangible strategies to prompt one-time donors to give monthly—and even upgrade after their first gift.

How to develop and launch a dedicated recurring giving acquisition campaign.

Methods for automating your recurring giving acquisition so you can keep bringing in new recurring donors all year long.

We will have many hands-on activities planned during this workshop to make sure you walk away with concrete applications that you can implement in your fundraising program right away. So be sure to bring a laptop with you so you can get to work along with your colleagues and peers!
