Be a top fundraiser in GlobalGiving’s Recurring Donation Campaign!

Posted by Alexis Nadin on April 21st, 2011

You asked us to make it easier to encourage donors to sign up for a recurring donation. So, here it is: the Recurring Donation Campaign! This campaign, taking place from Monday, May 2nd at 12:01 am until Friday, May 20th 11:59 pm, is a great opportunity to reach out to your donors about signing up for a recurring donation. The time constraint, thresholds, and bonus awards help  you to create a sense of urgency and to formulate a concrete ask: “Sign up for a recurring donation on GlobalGiving by May 20th to help us win one of twenty $500 prizes!”

On Wednesday, April 20th, GlobalGiving hosted a training on GlobalGiving’s upcoming Recurring Donation Campaign. We discussed the bonus awards ($12,000 in total!) and the campaign terms and conditions (read complete terms and conditions). We also discussed strategies for communicating and mobilizing your donors during this campaign. See training presentation.

GlobalGiving’s Recurring Donation Campaign

Posted by Alexis Nadin on April 13th, 2011

One of the easiest ways to ensure a reliable source of income is to encourage your donors to sign up for recurring donations!  By making a recurring donation, donors pledge to give to your project every month. GlobalGiving will automatically deduct the donation amount from the donor’s credit card each month. Just think, for every donor who signs up for a $10 recurring donation, your project gets $120 a year!

GlobalGiving makes it easy for donors to make recurring donations.  Read instructions on how to set up a recurring donation. Read more about the benefits of recurring donations in a recent blog post.

In May 2011, GlobalGiving is making it even easier to ask your donors to sign up for recurring donations during the Recurring Donation Campaign.

The Recurring Donation Campaign will take place between Monday, May 2 at 12:01:00 am EDT and Friday, May 20 at 11:59:59 pm EDT. During this campaign, GlobalGiving is giving away $12,000 in bonus awards to help you encourage current (and new!) donors to sign up for recurring donations!

  • The top 20 projects that receive the most new unique recurring donors will each be awarded a $500 bonus.
  • One project that raises the highest donation amount per month from recurring donations will be awarded $1,000.
  • One project that attracts the most new unique recurring donors will be awarded an additional $1,000 (for a total of $1,500!).
  • Projects must have at least 10 new unique recurring donors to be eligible for bonus awards.
