🚀 It’s GivingTuesday - and you've totally got this!


Hi Reader!

It's one of my favorite days of the year - GivingTuesday.

Today, millions of people around the world are showing up for the causes they love - and YES, your community is ready to rally behind you.

Here’s your quick confidence boost and last-minute checklist to make the most of today:

✔ Morning Kickoff
Post your first message early, send a short impactful email, and spotlight a story or volunteer moment that shows your mission in action.

✔ Stay Engaged All Day
Share progress updates, post behind-the-scenes moments, record a quick thank-you video, and encourage supporters to tag you.

Remember that GivingTuesday is just a day - it's your mission and your vision that spur your donors to give.

✔ Final Push Tonight
Send a heartfelt thank-you + a last call for gifts before midnight. People love helping you hit your goal - they really do! Tell them what you need and why you need it.

✔ Tomorrow
Follow up with gratitude and impact. Keep the momentum going into year-end.

Remember: GivingTuesday is not about perfection, it’s about connection.

Small actions, real stories, and consistent touchpoints will carry you farther than any “perfect” campaign ever could.

You’ve done the work. Your community wants to hear from you.

Get out there and inspire generosity today. ❤️

Best,

Julia
