Missions to Movements Scaling Monthly Giving to 34% of Donors and $134K in Recurring Revenue with Meghan Walsh
When Roots Ethiopia first attempted to build a monthly giving program, it was cumbersome and collapsing under its own weight.
Fast forward to today? That SAME program has transformed into a fundraising powerhouse with 93% donor retention, 34% of all donors giving monthly, and over $134K in annual recurring revenue.
Meghan Walsh, founder and board chair of Roots Ethiopia is back on the show to share it all: the handwritten cards, real-time donor reports, and a simple $20/month offer that shaped their results.
You’ll hear all about the nitty gritty tech tools, donor segmentation tactics, and community-building efforts, why she’s moving all donation asks toward a “monthly-first” approach, and how she's preparing to scale even further with automations and new acquisition campaigns.
