Why Monthly Donors Matter More Than Ever

Strengthening Your Nonprofit’s Future, One Commitment at a Time

When it comes to building a strong, sustainable fundraising foundation, few strategies are more powerful than monthly giving. In this quick but essential video tip on the Relentless Partner Video Channel, we’re reminded that monthly donors are not just nice to have—they are mission-critical.

Here’s why monthly donors matter and how you can prioritize this loyal group for long-term impact.

1. Monthly Donors Offer Stability

Monthly donors create a predictable stream of income your organization can count on. This recurring revenue helps reduce fundraising stress and allows your team to plan confidently for future programming, staffing, and expansion.

2. They Have Higher Lifetime Value

Did you know that monthly donors often give more over time than one-time donors? It’s true. Even modest monthly contributions add up—and often outpace larger, one-time gifts. They’re also more likely to stay engaged and become advocates for your cause.

3. They Strengthen Your Relationship-Based Fundraising

As highlighted in the video, monthly giving is a clear expression of trust and alignment with your mission. These donors aren't just supporting you—they’re invested in your work. Cultivate that relationship with regular updates, appreciation, and occasional impact stories. Make them feel like insiders—because they are.

4. It’s Time to Make Monthly Giving Easy

If you haven’t already, streamline your systems to encourage monthly gifts. Promote it on your website, in newsletters, and across campaigns. Keep the process simple, mobile-friendly, and secure.

Bottom Line:

Monthly donors aren’t just “small donors.” They are loyal, powerful partners who are telling you, “I believe in what you’re doing, and I’m here for the long haul.”

Let’s treat them accordingly.
