We know that year-end fundraising might be the last thing on your mind right now—but trust us, your future self will thank you for planning ahead.

Now’s the perfect time to commit to a successful giving season. And we’re here to help you do it in a fun, creative, and cost-effective way.

Our refreshed virtual intensive, The Year-End Giving Game Plan, will not just guide you through a year-end giving campaign, it will set you up on a successful path to better engage with your donors in the long-term.

You will leave this three-part intensive course with the following: 

• More organized donor data that segments out certain donor groups
• A custom donor report (relationship-building tool), drafted for your audience
• A campaign calendar to map out your request timeline
• Custom ask language to be used in all request communications (i.e. a request letter + request emails)
• Post-campaign thank-you language to be used in tax receipts and/or thank-you notes

This intensive kicks off in October and consists of three, three-hour webinars of interactive instruction and real-time work sessions, with homework between classes. Optional (but encouraged!) office hours and one hour of personalized consultation for your organization are also included.

NOTE: This course is for organizations that have individual giving experience. It is intended for your organization’s staff member who leads fund development work. Up to two additional members of your staff and/or board are encouraged to participate. The total cost for each organization to participate is $2,350 or $1,950 for Foraker Partners.

Embrace the year-end giving season! If you are interested, fill out this form by September 5.
