Individual giving and appeals

Building sustainable income from individual supporters.

Regular giving from individuals is one of the most reliable and sustainable forms of charitable income. This online session explores how to build and strengthen an engaging individual giving programme, alongside developing effective fundraising appeals that support long‑term growth.

You’ll look at what motivates donors, how regular giving fits within your wider fundraising mix and how appeals can support both acquisition and retention. The focus is on building long‑term supporter relationships – not one‑off transactions.

You’ll also explore what makes a successful regular giving plan and how appeals can be integrated into a broader, sustainable income approach that works for your organisation’s size and capacity. 

Duration: One-day session on Wednesday, 24 June 2026
