Nonprofit Trainings

Did you know that 31% of all annual giving occurs in December and 12% of all annual giving is in the last 3 days of the year?  These numbers highlight the need for a well-planned year-end giving strategy. In this fast-paced workshop, you will learn the current research for using both physical and digital appeals,  effectively segmenting donor audiences, and stewarding and thanking donors.  Whether you are new to year-end planning or looking to tweak your established plan, this session will assist your organization to have a successful year-end giving season. The follow-up to this session will be a two-part class at Flathead Valley Community College where attendees will leave with actionable year-end plans, reviewed year-end appeal letters, and additional best practices to implement.
