Question 1

Is the Monthly Giving Builder a course or a webinar?

Accepted Answer

No. The Monthly Giving Builder is an interactive tool — not passive training. Instead of watching videos and taking notes, you're guided through prompts that help you create real, customized deliverables, including donor-facing copy, growth and retention plans, and ongoing revenue forecasting. You leave each section with clear outputs you can use immediately — not ideas you have to translate later. This is built for execution, not consumption.

Question 2

Who is the Monthly Giving Builder for?

Accepted Answer

The Builder is designed for nonprofit professionals responsible for fundraising or recurring revenue — especially those working on small or stretched teams. If you know monthly giving matters but haven't had the time, clarity, or structure to build it well, this was built for you. It meets you where you are, whether you're launching for the first time or refining an existing program.

Question 3

Can I use this if we already have a monthly giving program?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Many organizations use the Monthly Giving Builder to strengthen and evolve existing programs. You can revisit your messaging, refine your donor experience, improve retention strategies, and plan for growth without starting over. The framework is repeatable, making it useful at every stage.

Question 4

What will I actually create inside the Monthly Giving Builder?

Accepted Answer

You'll create tangible, usable assets — not just notes. This includes messaging you can copy and paste for emails and landing pages, a clear monthly giving structure, growth and retention plans, and forecasting tools to help you plan ahead. Every step leads to something you can put into action.

Question 5

How is this different from other monthly giving resources or courses?

Accepted Answer

Most resources focus on education. The Monthly Giving Builder focuses on implementation. It doesn't just tell you what works — it helps you build it, with guided prompts and clear deliverables. You'll know what to do next, what to prioritize, and what language to use, without piecing together advice from multiple places.

Question 6

How often can I come back and update my work?

Accepted Answer

The Monthly Giving Builder is a monthly or annual subscription, so you can return anytime. Use it to update messaging, adjust growth strategies, plan retention efforts, or forecast revenue as your program evolves. It's designed to be a long-term workspace — not something you "finish."

Question 7

Do I need a large team or budget to use this?

Accepted Answer

No. The Builder is intentionally designed for lean teams and busy nonprofit professionals. It helps you focus on what matters most, without adding complexity or workload. You don't need extra staff or expensive tools — just the willingness to build thoughtfully, one step at a time.

Question 8

Does the Monthly Giving Builder collect or store donor information?

Accepted Answer

No. The Monthly Giving Builder does not ingest, store, or access donor data. It is a planning and strategy tool only and does not function as a CRM or donation platform.

Question 9

Is this a separate system from my CRM?

Accepted Answer

MGB generates your strategy, your messaging, and your plan. You take the output and plug it into whatever you already use — your CRM, your email platform, your donation tool. It works with your existing systems, not instead of them.

Question 10

What if we're Canadian / international?

Accepted Answer

We've had attendees from Canada, the UK, and beyond. The framework works. Reach out about payment options if exchange rate is a barrier — we want to make this work for you.
