Get your free Guide to Maximizing Giving Tuesday

Do you remember what happened last year?

You sat down to eat your breakfast and pulled out your phone to scroll through Facebook and you saw all these #GivingTuesday posts.

You’re a fundraiser for a non-profit. And you’re like, “How did I do nothing to prepare for this?” You went to the office and you got something up and tagged #GivingTuesday encouraging your followers to give.

But you resolved that next year would be different.

Next year you would be ready. Next year you would maximize this opportunity.

Well, um, it’s next year now…

We have a solution to get your ready for Giving Tuesday. Our Giving Tuesday guide is designed to put you in a position to be the first organization a donor thinks of when they’re prompted to make a gift. They wake up on Giving Tuesday, they see the posts, they want to participate in this social and charitable collective experience. And because of the work you’ve done to get ready, they want to give to you.

When your donor sees your post on Giving Tuesday inviting them to participate by giving a gift, they’re like, YES!

The convincing is already done. Giving is just the next thing, the next natural step they’d take. The whole Giving Tuesday “thing” is just the “forcing function” — it’s the event that prompts the gift.

If you’re not familiar with Giving Tuesday, it’s the Tuesday after Thanksgiving every year. We have Thanksgiving and then Black Friday and then Cyber Monday and then Giving Tuesday.

Right now is the perfect time to get ready. Ideally, you’d take about a week to prepare and then we walk you through day-by-day what you should be doing in the two weeks leading up to Giving Tuesday.

To get your free Maximizing Giving Tuesday Guide just shoot me at email at clark@majorgiftsfundraiser.com and say, “Hey, I want the Giving Tuesday guide….” That’s it, and it’s totally free. As soon as I get your email, I’ll forward it on.

Committed to your success,
