The Giving Tuesday

Step 1. Plan Ahead

Write your Historical Value Statement: Clarify and detail your contributions, your progress towards goals, and the work that remains.

Get inspired: Visit the GivingTuesday website for ideas and campaign resources.

Define your fundraising goals and campaign theme

Set measurable targets: Determine clear, realistic goals for fundraising—whether in dollars, resources, or volunteer hours.

Identify your donors: Whether it's a donor type or a short list of reliable donors, identify them so that you're prepared to reach out.

Update your online presence: Create or update your website and social media pages.
