Monthly Giving Powers Long-Term Charity Funding
Story 1
Donors For Life has launched a monthly giving programme to provide South African charities with reliable, long-term funding.
The initiative, created by BackaBuddy and Paysoft Impact, encourages people to make recurring donations instead of only giving during emergencies.
The programme also helps charities build lasting relationships with donors and improve their fundraising efforts.
The goal is to give non-profit organisations more stable funding so they can continue supporting communities throughout the year.
