Creating Your Year End Appeal

Did you know that a majority of Canadian charities generate almost half of their fundraising revenue in the last three months of the year? The final three days of the year can bring in as much as 10% of their goal. How are they doing this? No matter what size your organization or team is, engaging your donors at this time of year is essential.

Whether you’ve never run a year end campaign before or not, join us to explore a simple, effective and highly practical approach to your year-end fundraising campaign that will include:

  • Actionable step-by-step instructions and tools that will show you how to build and run a multi-channel fundraising campaign from November 15 to December 31.
  • The knowledge that you need to move forward with your planning.
  • Tools that will put your cause front and center in your donors’ hearts and minds this giving season.
