Join the Sustainer Group
Connect, Share, and Grow Alongside Your Industry Peers
Sustaining donors are our champions, offering our organizations a consistent and reliable source of revenue. Managing these programs is incredibly rewarding – but also comes with a unique set of challenges, as we determine how to continually grow and retain recurring donors.
That’s why we’ve created The DMFA’s Sustainer Group: a space for Sustainer professionals to gather, connect, explore, learn, and grow. As a member of the Sustainer Group, you can share successes, challenges, and hold frank conversations with other fundraising professionals. We believe that a rising tide lifts all boats: together, we’ll share solutions and brainstorm new ideas to build strong sustainer programs that support us all.

Our participants rave about the experience
“Thank you for providing enough structure for us all to both get the ball rolling and stay on track, but enough freedom for us to ask questions that were most meaningful to each of us.”
“It’s great to learn in detail what other organizations are doing, and to talk with others to dive deeper into strategies or ideas to test!”
