We do this in three ways:

THE SHIFT
A new wave is forming in generosity.
Every couple of decades, the nonprofit sector experiences a structural shift. A wave reshapes how generosity flows and how causes are funded.
Today, that wave is recurring giving.
The subscription economy reshaped how we consume and paved the way for more donors to give to more charities on a recurring basis. In doing so, it introduced a new model built on long-term donor value, consistent revenue, and relationships designed to last.
Organizations that recognize this shift early will help shape what comes next.
LEADERSHIP’S ROLE
This shift is not just a change in strategy. It is a call for a different kind of leadership.
The leaders who will shape what comes next will not just adopt new models. They will grow generosity within themselves, their organizations, and the communities they serve.
Sustainable giving is not just built through systems. Sustainable giving is built by leaders.
The Center for Sustainable Giving exists to equip leaders to grow generosity that leads to more sustainable funding and lasting impact.
