From One-Time to Lifetime: Turning Year-End Donors into Recurring Supporters 

October 30, 2024

12 p.m. CT / 1 p.m. ET

The average recurring donor will give 42% more in one year than those who give one-time gifts. 

The year-end giving season, including #GivingTuesday, is a crucial period for nonprofits, often attracting a surge of one-time donors eager to support a cause. However, the real opportunity lies in converting these donors into recurring supporters who provide sustained funding throughout the year.  

In this webinar, we will guide you through proven strategies and actionable steps to nurture year-end donors into loyal, long-term supporters. Learn how to strengthen donor relationships, create compelling recurring giving programs, and leverage data-driven insights to enhance donor retention.  

Increase the lifetime value of your donors while creating a more stable financial foundation for your nonprofit. Register now for an opportunity to strategize the future of donor relationships beyond individual giving moments.
