Hidden in plain sight: How to find your next monthly donors in your CRM

May 13, 2026 @ 2 PM ET

Your next monthly donors might already be in your contact list—you just need to know where to look.

Givebutter teamed up with monthly giving consultant Erika Musser to share how nonprofits can identify potential recurring supporters in their existing donor database, find the right time to reach out, and create an easy process for increasing monthly revenue.

Key takeaways from the session

Your best prospects may already be in your database 👀 The supporters most likely to become monthly donors are often already engaged with your organization.

Timing matters just as much as the ask ⏰ Recognizing the right donor signals can make monthly giving asks feel natural and effective.

Small, repeatable actions beat complicated campaigns 🔁 A clear approach can help nonprofits grow recurring revenue consistently. Erika’s free guide offers conversation frameworks and real examples to make monthly giving asks easier.

Monthly giving should feel accessible 💛 Provide an easy way for more supporters to contribute to your mission.

The best recurring programs are built around relationships 🤝 Thoughtful follow-up and appreciation help convert monthly donors into long-term supporters. Strong monthly giving programs focus on genuine relationships, rather than one-time fundraising pushes.
