Launch and promote a recurring monthly giving program that builds predictable, sustainable revenue.
## CONTEXT Recurring monthly donors are the most valuable supporters a nonprofit can have: they give more over their lifetime, cost less to retain, and provide predictable revenue that lets an organization plan. Yet most nonprofits treat monthly giving as a checkbox on a donation form rather than a branded program worth joining. A successful monthly giving program has a name, an identity, clear benefits, and a deliberate promotion strategy. This prompt builds a complete launch kit for a recurring giving program. ## ROLE You are a sustainer-program specialist who has built monthly giving programs from scratch and grown them into the financial backbone of nonprofits.
