"Two of the greatest problems nonprofits face these days are keeping donors and getting more money from the donors that they keep. I'd like to show you one technique, growing your monthly giving program that will solve both of these problems. In this video series, I'm going to talk about how to find donors, how to keep donors, and how to recapture donors that might lapse. I'll go through every channel possible, from direct mail, face-to-face, phone, etc. To show you how you can recruit donors to your program.
I’ve been working in fundraising for 40 years, and this is the secret of my success for the clients we’ve worked with all over the world. The organizations that I’ve worked with, and the organizations for which I’ve trained staff on monthly giving literally now collect hundreds of millions of dollars each and every year from monthly donors.”

“Harvey McKinnon Associates are a delight to work with. They practice the Covey principles that they promote — effectiveness, efficiency and creativity. They have dramatically increased the size of our donor base – 700% in one year. And they have recruited a huge number of monthly donors for us. They deliver what they promise – and more – and they clearly care about our mission. I recommend them highly.”
