Last year, generous donors gave an estimated $3.1 billion on Giving Tuesday in the United States alone. This represents a 15% increase over 2021 and a 25% increase over 2020. And Giving Tuesday is just the kickoff to a generous season of giving–over one-third of all giving throughout the year happens in the month of December.
With the right planning and creative use of modern technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), your nonprofit can maximize end-of-year fundraising without adding too much work to your plate.
Join us as communications experts and former fundraisers from DonorPerfect present practical tips and big-picture strategies for fundraising through Giving Tuesday and beyond. In this webinar, you’ll learn how to:
- Create a Giving Tuesday communications and fundraising plan that will delight current donors and inspire new supporters to give.
- Build a year-end campaign strategy that mimics the donor engagement cycle.
- Use automation tools like ChatGPT and other AI thoughtfully and ethically to save time and effort.
