056: Driving GivingTuesday success with urgency and community
|
The global day of generosity is less than a week away. While the sector collectively raised $3.1 billion in 2022, this year’s outcome is filled with uncertainty due to a decline in donor participation.
With your fundraising plans likely already in motion, potentially with a “sneak peek” email already in donor inboxes, this week’s brief focuses on how to further promote urgency and community to garner the support and generosity to meet your ambitious fundraising goals.
During this week of gratitude, as you take the well-deserved time off to celebrate with family and friends, we give thanks to you—our community: the Helpers.
The Helpers close the gap on issues from poverty to policy and education to equity. Often this work is taken for granted, and we assume someone will do it. Someone is you. We sincerely thank you.
We hope this week is filled with joy and rest. See you next week!
