The Next Wave of Fundraising: Building Sustainable Recurring Giving

A new wave is building in fundraising. More donors are choosing to support the causes they care about through ongoing, recurring gifts – and organizations that embrace this shift are discovering greater financial stability, stronger donor retention, and deeper long-term impact.

In this session, Dave Raley – founder of Imago Consulting, host of the Sustainable Giving Podcast, and author of the best-selling book The Rise of Sustainable Giving – explores why sustainable recurring giving is emerging as one of the most important trends reshaping modern fundraising.

Drawing on research and real-world examples, Dave will share practical ways organizations are building recurring giving programs that grow over time. Attendees will leave with fresh perspective and actionable ideas to strengthen recurring giving programs, improve donor retention, and begin building a culture of sustainable generosity within their organizations.
