Of the subscription donors, fifty-two percent said they would most want to get tales and experiences from beneficiaries as their form of evidence and communication. From a one-time gift or several donations, 34% of non-subscription donors said personal tales and experiences from beneficiaries would most

Among the first initiatives to investigate how to boost donor involvement by means of subscription-based giving is this one Generally speaking, the donor community is more experienced and knowledgeable of subscription-based commercial market transactions. Nonprofits still have to adjust what we know about subscription buying behavior to charitable
giving. More study with bigger samples of donors with different degrees of engagement is required in order to understand how subscription-based giving opportunities can better retain engaged donors and attract non-donors and lapsed donors, especially individuals in these categories that presently engage in subscription-based commercial services or purchases.
Moreover subscription-based giving
provides ease and tailored interaction not possible in more conventional approaches of regular donation. For charitable organizations using subscription giving opportunities, this does, however, bring both possible and unique difficulties. The resources and capabilities of a nonprofit organization determine whether it can provide a consistent flow of well chosen information as well as higher degrees of customized communication and assistance.

This result is especially pertinent since it implies that nonprofit organizations should

As Figure 7 shows, almost half (47%) of subscription donors said that their main driving reason was the chance to significantly influence the objective of the nonprofit.
Conclusion
Additionally emphasized by several participants was the simplicity of the subscription model; of subscribers chose subscription donating because it was so easy. Thirty-seven percent of those who donate subscriptions also said that being urged by charitable organizations to move over to subscription giving worked well as an incentive Other important determinants of donors to sign up subscription giving were their personal relationship or connection with the

Others further argued that rather than generating a financial burden at a given time of year, with an annual contribution or numerous gifts, the automatic, repeating nature of donations helped space out and fulfill their giving
goals regularly over the year. Generally, personal tastes and circumstances also influenced a donor's choice to be a subscription donor; one donor noted that they "happened to be in the mood at the time" but clarified that they would most likely donate more if a nonprofit organization extended a special appeal.eme with subscription donors as well, implying that appeals and requests for support might have flooded some donors as this survey was done
