The Build Good Fundraising Podcast #51: How Greenpeace Canada increased monthly giving by 330% using email only
Monthly donors...we all want more of them! Today we're going to hear how Greenpeace Canada uses a simple email strategy to grow monthly giving. And the good news is: you can do this, too!
Greenpeace Canada focuses on using open and honest emails as a core strategy to ask people who have signed petitions to consider becoming a monthly donor. And in just two years, they've grown monthly giving by over 330%, which is amazing.
To tell us how they did it, we're talking to Miriam Wilson, who leads digital fundraising and donor engagement at Greenpeace Canada.
This is a really practical conversation, and I hope you leave encouraged by the fact that there is a low cost strategy to grow your monthly giving that nonprofits of any size can implement at any time.
