Speaking about monthly giving has me even more excited about it!

If you have been reading my past writings here, you have read a lot about monthly giving.

And now you see the title of this one!

You’re probably thinking one of two ways: either that you’re glad I’m writing about monthly giving so often, or that you’re questioning why I’m writing so much about monthly giving.

I hope that one of every two of you is still with me.

This week I had the opportunity to speak to a gathering of nonprofit professionals and board members. As I began speaking, the thrill of talking about monthly giving strengthened. Although on a typical day, I’m quite excited about monthly giving, my excitement level while speaking went through the roof.

One of the great things about this crowd was that most attendees were board members of nonprofits, not nonprofit fundraisers.

Board members. Their eyes were glued to me.

I had prepared to speak to other nonprofit fundraising professionals. Once I learned that there were so many board members present I began thinking in my head how I could make small changes in what I was going to present so board members would get more out of it.
