🎯 Nonprofits: It’s Time to Get Strategic with End-of-Year Giving! 🎯 The year-end rush is upon us, and it’s not just about asking for donations—it’s about making meaningful connections. Here are three strategies to consider: 🔍 Segment your donors: One size doesn’t fit all. Create targeted messages for first-time donors, recurring givers, and major donors. Tailored outreach shows your supporters you value them individually. 📊 Highlight impact: Remind donors exactly how their dollars have made a difference. Whether it’s the number of meals served or children educated, stories of real impact drive more generous giving. 💡 Create urgency: Remind supporters that year-end giving comes with a deadline—both for their financial year and for the impact they can make before the calendar flips. Consider setting a tangible goal, like funding a specific project before year-end. #NonprofitFundraising #YearEndGiving #DonorEngagement #ImpactMatters

💡 What if you asked for $85 LESS per donor...and raised $32,475 more? I just ran the numbers on two different approaches, starting with 100 donors: ➡️ One-time gifts ($100): $14,700 over 3 years ➡️ Monthly gifts ($15): $47,175 over 3 years Yes, you read that right. The monthly program generated 3.2x more revenue - even though we asked for 85% LESS per gift. Why do we do this? Because: 1. One-time gifts feel bigger upfront 2. We're under pressure to meet immediate needs 3. Change is hard, and our systems are built around annual giving But here's what we're missing: 1. Monthly donors have an 85% retention rate (vs 35% for one-time donors) 2. Predictable revenue means better planning and stronger programs 3. Your team can focus on impact instead of constantly chasing the next donation The math is clear: if we want our organizations to thrive rather than just survive, we need to shift our mindset from "what do we need right now?" to "how do we build sustainable support?" ✨ The Next Step: Take 10% of the energy you're putting into one-time gifts and invest it in building a monthly giving program. Start small, learn what works, and scale what's working. Start by transforming your Giving Tuesday donors into monthly supporters!
