Do These 3 Things NOW To Blow Past Your Holiday Fundraising Goals This Year
Late summer is the PERFECT time to start working on Fall and Year-End Fundraising. What you do NOW greatly impacts what happens in a few months when it's holiday time. And if you want a huge wave of donations before New Year's Eve, there are things you must do now to pave the way. In this workshop, you'll learn some simple, practical steps you can take to get donors ready, even if you've let things slide for the past few months. Learning Objectives: • How to warm up your donors and even uncover a matching gift prospect for your Year-End or Giving Tuesday campaign.• How to map out when you'll ask and what you'll ask for so you can stop shooting from the hip and instead work from a plan with full confidence that donors will give.• What a great example of a Fall ask looks like, and what makes it great. You'll learn how donor communication plays a huge role in relationship building and get great ideas for things you can easily do now to warm donors up before Asking Season starts. You'll learn how to balance Asks with feel-good experiences so donors don't feel over-asked but are excited to support your nonprofit's work. We'll discuss creating a sense of urgency, so donors understand why they must give NOW. Every act of generosity starts here.
