The Rise of Recurring Giving: How Churches Build Steady Support

For decades, church giving relied mainly on weekly offerings or one-time donations. These gifts remain meaningful, but many churches face financial uncertainty when income fluctuates. A major trend shaping the future of generosity is recurring giving, where members commit to give on a regular schedule such as monthly.

This approach provides churches with stability, sustainability, and room to grow. Below, we will explore why recurring giving is becoming a cornerstone of modern fundraising, how it impacts communities, and the role of platforms like Giveable in making it possible.


Why Recurring Giving Matters

  1. Consistency and Stability
    Recurring giving ensures a steady flow of funds, which helps churches plan better for programs like food distribution, scholarships, or mission work. Instead of waiting for seasonal campaigns, churches can operate with confidence all year.
  2. Deeper Commitment
    When members set up automatic gifts, they move from occasional donors to long-term partners. This builds stronger community ties and a deeper sense of shared mission.
  3. Bigger Impact Over Time
    Even small recurring gifts add up. A member giving $20 every month contributes $240 in a year. Multiply that across dozens of members and the church gains significant support for its ministries.

Real Example: A Growing Food Ministry

One church in Manila shifted to recurring giving for its feeding ministry. By encouraging families to pledge monthly gifts, they secured stable funding that expanded their program from serving 50 children a week to 200. With reliable donations, they were able to purchase food in bulk, lower costs, and extend their outreach.
