Friday Update – Year-End Fundraising – 9-18-15
The Friday Fundraising Update collects fundraising industry insights and success stories and delivers them to you each Friday from Ruffalo Noel Levitz.
Even though the fiscal year just barely started for some of us, it is already time to prepare for year-end fundraising efforts. This Friday we have some great resources to ensure that your 2015 end-of-year fundraising efforts are the best yet!
Make A List
In their extremely useful yet succinct whitepaper, Abila puts together a monthly checklist for fundraising action items between September to December. Print it out, tack it up on your wall, and cross out items as you complete them!
Consider Your Options
Caron Beesley of Salsa did all the work for us in her recent post, because she compiled a great list of articles to aid in end-of-year fundraising efforts. Among the links, there are awesome tips and strategies to consider, so be sure to check her article out!
Integrate Mobile Practices
Has your organization considered using text-to-give, mobile pay, or giving apps as part of your fundraising arsenal? If not, its time to implement these strategies, and you can do so with ease by using Julia Campbell’s tips for mobile fundraising! And keep in mind, great charitable crowdfunding platforms like ScaleFunder already integrate a lot of these friction-free features.
