DESCRIPTION

Certainly at some point in the past 13 years, you’ve caught an episode of Survivor. The landscape is rough, unpredictable, and humans scramble to form the right alliances and use the right tools to reach their goal. Did you ever think about how that relates to year-end giving for nonprofits? The digital fundraising landscape is riddled with traps, wild animals, and random elements. This webinar will explore digital strategies, tactics, and tips to survive year-end giving. Make it through the important holiday season and set your organization up for fundraising success into the next year. Come January 1, will your strategy get you voted off Fundraising Mountain? In other words, will donors give to another organizations instead of yours? Don’t let that happen. Find out how your organization can acquire and cultivate more passionate donors and finish this year strong.
