Monthly giving must be more than just a button

The rise of monthly (or sustainer) giving has been the biggest trend in philanthropy in the last five years. Yet many nonprofit organizations struggle with building an effective recurring donor program. 

Adding a monthly giving button or a dedicated campaign does not create scale. Drastic shifts like monthly-first also leave donors feeling like there’s a line in the sand.  

The Ignyte Monthly Giving Solution develops personalized omnichannel journeys that build loyalty and affinity with donors.

Readiness Identification

Not everyone is interested in monthly giving. We help you find which donors are the right candidates through the use of first-party and third-party data signals and machine learning. 

Audience-First Engagement 

We create an omnichannel communication calendar and touchpoints for your annual program. We engage your monthly donors and prospects in journeys that are personalized by their behavior.   

Strategic Experimentation 

We partner with you to develop creative hypotheses that are tied to the motivations of your donor cohorts. Creative platforms are layered into short-form and longer-form tests, so that you continually optimize and gain.  

Asset Creation

We develop creative assets that both resonate and perform. This includes two concepts and up to two rounds of revision per activation.

Turnkey Activation

We handle mail production, email deployment and media buying so that your team can spend your time focusing on your mission.

Results Reporting

We measure based on projectable growth metrics, and we review monthly for optimal performance in growing your mid-level program.
