Statistics report that 34% of giving happens during the last three months of the calendar year* resulting in billions of dollars given. October is the time to get ready! Did you know that many people will give to the first appeals they receive and the later ones may not get noticed? Be ahead of the crowd this year and reap the rewards of being early.

Come to this workshop and receive creative ideas to increase year end giving. Learn from Robin and fellow participants how to create your best year end fundraising strategy ever. Bring ideas for your appeal letter and you will have the opportunity to work on it, receive feedback and get it done. Have your appeal ready to be mailed and be the first one people receive.

This super informative workshop will give you:

1. Efficiency Checklist for your year-end giving campaign
2. Creative and original appeal letter ideas
3. Dedicated time to perfect and refine your appeal letter
