October marks the start of end-of-year fundraising efforts. In this episode, Nancy and Sarah talk about what a small nonprofit might consider doing to maximize end-of-year giving. We build on earlier discussions about strategic fundraising to give concrete steps to take in October and November to increase your odds of success in December.
Question to reflect on before you listen:
Who do you want to reach this giving season?
Discussion questions:
- What resonated with you about this conversation? What would you like to take back to your organization?
- What goals do you have for your end-of-year fundraising, other than “raise more money”?
- Who is on your fundraising team? What donors could you recruit to help you think about your appeal?
Word of the week: Give
What does this word mean to you?
We wish you the greatest success!
