Unlocking Mid-Level Giving: Turning Supporters into High-Value Donors
3:25 PM - 4:10 PM
Monday, October 19, 2026
Many organisations invest heavily in acquisition and regular giving, but far fewer focus on the next stage of growth: developing and scaling a strong mid-level donor program.
For many charities, some of their most valuable future donors are already in their database. The challenge is identifying high-potential supporters, engaging them in the right way and creating a clear pathway to deeper giving. Without a deliberate strategy, valuable supporters can remain hidden in plain sight.
In this session, we’ll explore how successful organisations are building and scaling mid-level giving programs that increase donor value, strengthen retention and create a stronger pipeline into major gifts. Through practical examples, we’ll look at how organisations identify mid-level donors, design scalable engagement strategies and use data, tools and automation to support growth.
Unlock more value from your existing supporters and build a stronger foundation for long-term fundraising growth.
