What Sustainable Giving Certification Is
Sustainable Giving Certification is an objective, independently-verified certification that evaluates technology provider, agency, or consultant readiness to support modern recurring giving programs.
It assesses providers across the capabilities required to enable subscription-ready sustainable giving – from donor experience and reporting to payment infrastructure and recurring donor strategy.
The certification serves as a signal of:
Capability — The systems and practices required to support recurring giving.
Commitment — An organizational focus on sustainable fundraising models.
Credibility — Readiness to help nonprofits grow recurring support.
The certification process is administered independently and includes a detailed evaluation across multiple capability areas.
Why Certification Matters
The shift toward sustainable giving isn’t something nonprofits can accomplish alone. Even when organizations embrace recurring giving, their ability to succeed depends heavily on the technology and service provider partners supporting them.
That’s why the ecosystem around sustainable giving matters.
The Sustainable Giving Certification was created to help the sector:
✅ Identify providers equipped for modern recurring giving
✅ Encourage better products, services, and practices
✅ Give nonprofit leaders confidence when choosing partners
When nonprofits work with providers who understand the mechanics of sustainable giving, programs are easier to launch, easier to grow, and more likely to succeed.
Certification helps shine a light on the organizations helping make that possible.
