Regular giving isn’t just a fundraising tactic—it’s the heartbeat of sustainable donor engagement. At Blackbaud, we crunched the numbers across our top 50 Australian customers and uncovered a powerful insight: 84% of newly acquired donors last year were regular givers. That’s not a trend—it’s a movement.

In this lively, insight-packed session, we’ll take you behind the scenes of the most successful regular giving programs in the country. You’ll learn what’s working, what’s evolving, and what’s next—from investment models that drive ROI to retention strategies that actually stick.

We’ll explore the metrics that matter, the experiments that paid off (and the ones that didn’t), and the bold new ideas shaping the future—like two-step onboarding, peer-to-peer conversion, and the growing role of AI-powered donor journeys.

And the best part? You’ll hear directly from the teams at National Heart Foundation and Vision Australia, who will share their journeys of launching, scaling, and optimising regular giving programs. Expect real stories, honest lessons, and practical takeaways you can apply immediately.
