Most nonprofit donation pages convert at around 12% on desktop and 8% on mobile, according to the M+R Benchmarks 2026 study. That means roughly 9 out of 10 visitors who land on a donation page leave without giving.

Recurring giving is a fundraising approach where donors commit to automated, repeating donations to a nonprofit, most often on a monthly basis. Also called monthly giving, sustainer giving, or recurring donations, the model lets a donor set up a smaller amount that processes automatically through the nonprofit's payment system instead of giving one larger gift once a year. For nonprofits, recurring giving creates predictable monthly revenue and far higher donor lifetime value than one-time fundraising alone.
