Grow recurring giving from the traffic you already have

Most donors don’t arrive planning to make a recurring gift. That’s why the donation form has to do more than process the gift. It has to make recurring giving feel like a clear, natural choice.

Fundraise Up presents the option at the right moment, helping nonprofits turn one-time intent into recurring revenue without needing more traffic or more campaigns.

Keep recurring donors longer

A recurring donor is only as valuable as the months they stay. Conversion gets supporters in the door; retention is what turns a single sign-up into years of predictable, growing revenue. That's why Fundraise Up builds retention into the recurring experience from day one.

Flexible alternatives to canceling

When a donor starts to cancel, we offer options first: pause for a few months, lower the amount, or shift the payment date. Many donors who were ready to leave choose one of these and stay instead.

Flexible alternatives to canceling

Self-serve Donor Portal

Donors update their own card details, adjust their gift, and download receipts without ever contacting your team, preventing the failed payments and frustration that drive churn.

Automatic card updater and intelligent retries

Expired cards and declined charges are among the leading causes of involuntary churn. We detect and recover them automatically, so a payment hiccup never costs you a committed donor.

FAQ

How does Fundraise Up increase recurring donations?

Fundraise Up helps organizations convert more one-time donors into recurring supporters with AI-powered recurring upsells before and after a donation. The platform can intelligently decide when to show monthly or annual giving prompts, personalize ask amounts, and make it easy for existing recurring donors to increase their gift through upgrade links and a self-service Donor Portal. These tools are designed to grow recurring donor conversion while improving long-term retention.⁠

What payment methods can recurring donors use?

Fundraise Up supports a wide range of payment methods, including cards, wallets, and bank-based options such as ACH Direct Debit, Canadian PADs, Bacs, BECS, SEPA, iDEAL/WERO, Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal, and Venmo where available.

Can donors cancel, pause, or reduce their gift themselves, and do we capture why they cancel?

Yes. Through the Donor Portal, donors can update payment details, change amounts, skip installments, pause, or cancel without contacting your team. When a donor moves to cancel, built-in retention prompts offer to reduce the amount or skip installments instead, which recovers plans that would otherwise lapse. Every cancellation captures a reason, and open-ended responses are auto-classified into standard categories so you have consistent reporting.

How does Fundraise Up turn one-time donors into recurring donors?

During checkout, donors are invited to convert a one-time gift into a monthly one. The ask is calibrated by AI, so donors above the threshold where a monthly ask tends to backfire skip the prompt entirely and keep moving through the flow.

What recurring giving analytics are available in Fundraise Up?

Fundraise Up includes multiple recurring-giving dashboards in Insights to help you track growth, revenue, and retention. The Recurring plans dashboard shows active plans, new plans, reactivated plans, and canceled plans, including cancellation reasons. The Recurring revenue dashboard shows MRR, MRR growth rate, share of recurring revenue, recurring donation amounts, average revenue per plan, and churn rate. The Retention dashboard tracks recurring donor cohorts for up to 12 months, showing what percentage of supporters remain active month by month.

How does Fundraise Up help retain recurring donors?

Fundraise Up helps retain recurring donors by giving supporters more flexibility and control. Donors can use the Donor Portal to manage their recurring plans, update payment details, view donation history, and change their information without contacting the nonprofit. Fundraise Up also supports plan pausing, installment skipping, payment-method updates, and AI-powered retries for failed installments, helping recover donations that might otherwise be lost.

How many recurring donors are retained after one year?

Fundraise Up retains about 8 out of 10 recurring donors across 12 months.

What recurring donation frequencies are available?

Fundraise Up supports nine recurring giving frequencies: daily, weekly, biweekly, every 4 weeks, monthly, bimonthly, quarterly, semiannual, and annual. These can be enabled for the Checkout Modal, Campaign Pages, Donor Portal, and Virtual Terminal.
