Many nonprofits rely on unpredictable revenue from grants and events, making it hard to plan. Monthly giving can unlock more predictable revenue, stronger donor relationships, and flexible, unrestricted funds.
In this session, we’ll dig into why recurring donors are so reliable and share practical strategies to find likely monthly donors, launch or grow a recurring giving program, and build steady revenue for long‑term stability.

Participants will leave with practical strategies to strengthen their mid-level donor program and build a clear pathway from annual giving to transformational gifts.

Each year, the Giving USA report offers a comprehensive look at charitable giving across the United States. But national trends don’t always tell the full story for local nonprofits.
In this session, presented in partnership with Creative Fundraising Advisors, we’ll unpack the latest Giving USA findings and explore what they mean specifically for Minnesota organizations. How does Minnesota compare to national giving patterns? Where are the opportunities and challenges for nonprofits in our state?
Participants will gain a deeper understanding of the data shaping today’s fundraising landscape and leave with insights to help guide their individual giving strategy in the year ahead.
