Did you know monthly donors are six times more likely to become legacy donors?

They are the most committed and loyal to your organization. They're in the habit of giving to you every single month. And many have been with you for years.

That's why today's guest is going to show you a powerful way to create long term revenue for your organization by focusing on both monthly giving and legacy marketing together. 

Ligia Peña is an international legacy consultant with over 20 years of experience, working for large organizations like Greenpeace and small to mid-sized shops.
