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.

Step 2. Promote Your Campaign

Collaborate with other organizations: Find like-minded nonprofits using our 990 Explorer Tool to expand your reach.

Prepare your team: Organize volunteers, contractors, and communication plans early.

Launch with impact:

Post using official Giving Tuesday hashtags.
Share updates and stories throughout the month.
Include strong calls-to-action (CTAs) in all messaging.

Plan how you’ll organize and track contributions.

Step 3. Close Out The Year Strong

Track contributions and volunteer hours.

Prepare key financials for your 990 filing.

Thank every supporter: Send personalized thank-you notes, emails, or videos showing their impact.

If you hire contractors: Use free nonprofit payroll tools such as TaxBandits’ Free Payroll to manage payments.
