giving patterns

Giving patterns refer to the ways in which individuals or organizations donate resources over time. They can include consistent, scheduled contributions (like monthly donations), one-time large gifts, or sporadic giving based on specific events or circumstances. Recognizing these patterns helps nonprofits plan and build long-term relationships with donors. Understanding when and how donors give allows organizations to tailor their approaches, foster loyalty, and encourage sustained support. Essentially, giving patterns reveal the rhythm and preferences behind generosity, enabling better stewardship and more effective fundraising strategies.
