Your Monthly Giving Blueprint: Free Community, Inside MGS 2026, & Mastermind Details

The day after GivingTuesday always carries a special kind of energy: part celebration, part reflection, part “okay…what’s next?” And if you’re building or growing a monthly giving program, next matters. Momentum matters. Community matters.

That’s why I’m so excited to share three big announcements that will directly support your 2026 monthly giving programs, recurring revenue growth, and donor community-building. From an expanded free community to a record-breaking summit and brand-new mastermind experiences, 2026 is shaping up to be a transformational year for monthly giving leaders.

Let’s dive in.

1. The Sustainers Slack Community Is Now 100% Free

What started as a simple idea after the first Monthly Giving Summit: “How do we keep this conversation going?” – has become one of the most generous and collaborative spaces on the internet for nonprofit pros.

And now, it’s officially completely free to join.

This community has grown into a global hub for fundraisers who want to share best practices, get real-time input, and build recurring revenue programs with confidence. Members get access to:

• Monthly office hours (live feedback + guidance)

• Expert Q&As with brilliant fundraising leaders

• 60-minute coworking huddles so you can actually get work done

• A private Slack space full of support, resources, and encouragement

If you’ve been craving accountability, community, and consistent insight into monthly giving strategy—this is your sign to hop in.

2. Registration Is Open for the 2026 Monthly Giving Summit

Mark your calendar: February 25–26, 2026.

Last year, more than 4,700 fundraisers from 58 countries came together for two days of inspiration, clarity, and truly unbelievable energy. This year, we’re going even bigger. The goal? 7,000 registrants.

Here’s what’s new and noteworthy for 2026:

A powerful keynote from Adriana Carrig of Little Words Project

Her story, building a global movement of kindness from a college dorm room, is the perfect foundation for this year’s theme: The Believer Blueprint.
It’s all about how small words, small actions, and small touchpoints shape donor belief and belonging.

Actionable case study rooms

Three case-study tracks based on program size:

• Pre-launch to 500
• 500–5,000
• 5,000+
  Hear real strategies from peers in your same stage of growth.

Fully interactive workshops

Roll-up-your-sleeves sessions where you brainstorm, draft, and walk away with actual assets or plans, not just notes.

Whether you’re launching your first monthly giving program or scaling into the thousands, the Summit is your place to get inspired, empowered, and equipped for the year ahead.

3. Two New Mastermind Tracks for 2026

If the Summit gives you clarity, the masterminds are where you build.

Monthly Giving Mastermind (4 months, high-touch)

Perfect for organizations ready to launch or completely relaunch their program.
You’ll walk away with:

• Program naming + promise

• A fully built monthly giving landing page

• Copywriting + graphics

• Donation tool optimization

• Launch emails + welcome series

• Annual plan + retention strategy

It’s limited to five organizations and applications close December 8th.

The NEW Mini Monthly Giving Mastermind (12 months + optional retreat)

Built for organizations that already have monthly donors, from 100 to 10,000+.
This track is all about depth:

• Quarterly 1:1 strategy calls

• Monthly peer groups by program size

• Private Slack channel

• Annual optional retreat in Atlanta (rest + strategy + connection)

• Only 40 spots for the full year

If you’ve been looking for accountability, strategic refinement, and a community of serious monthly giving practitioners, this is your room.

Why This All Matters Going into 2026

Monthly giving is no longer a “nice to have” revenue stream. It’s the stabilizer. The breathing room. The long-term sustainability every nonprofit needs.

But the truth is: you shouldn’t have to figure it out alone.

These three announcements—a free community, a global summit, and two mastermind tracks—were built with one purpose in mind:

to help you grow a thriving recurring revenue program with clarity, community, and confidence.

Whether you’re in build mode or growth mode, 2026 can be the year your monthly giving program becomes your organization’s most powerful asset.
