A monthly donor program often feels like a big lift, but it does not have to be. In this episode, Nancy and Sarah sit down with monthly giving specialist Garrett Freibott-Kalt to unpack what it takes to build a sustainable base of supporters. You will walk away with a clearer picture of where to start, what keeps donors coming back, and why recurring giving can create more stability and connection for your nonprofit over time.

Question to consider before listening:

Are recurring donors already part of your fundraising approach? Why or why not?

You can find Garrett at People First Communications.

Grassroots donations may feel small, but their impact is anything but. In this episode, Nancy and Sarah reflect on a recent article about the decline in everyday giving and why small nonprofits should pay attention.

If fundraising has started to feel like it’s only for major donors, this conversation offers a different path forward.
