GIVING SEASON IS HERE

 

It’s that time of year again —the season of making snow angels, ice skating and eating entire rolls of cookie dough is upon us. For your Non-Profit Organization, this magical season means recognizing deadlines and making sure you’re making the most of your year-end appeal.

 

It is extremely important to utilize this window of opportunity and connect with donors on a personal level before the shiny ball in Times Square drops. Don’t fall into the trap of thinking your year-end giving strategy has to be boring. Keep in mind that in an age dominated by technology, direct mail and personalized letters aren’t dead.

Here is the upcoming deadlines, Are you Ready?
