If you want to raise more monthly gifts at year-end, this Working Session is your new playbook. We’re breaking down the simple changes that make recurring giving more visible, more compelling, and easier for your supporters to say yes to.

Top 3 Takeaways:

1. Make Monthly Giving Impossible to Miss — Clear, separate buttons for one-time and monthly gifts can increase conversions by up to 45%.

2. Lead With Monthly Giving at Year-End — Put recurring giving front and center in your year-end messaging so supporters actually choose it.

3. Test Fast, Learn Fast — Small orgs have the advantage. Simple experiments in copy, ads, or donor journeys can unlock major monthly giving growth.

This episode kicks off our new Working Sessions series — hands-on, clarity-filled conversations designed to help you move real work forward inside your organization.

Let’s get to work.
