Think it's too soon to start preparing for 2012 fundraising? Think again!

Earn your overachiever’s gold star and get cracking with ten steps you can use now to raise more money throughout the year.

You might know that 40 percent of all online donations come in during December. If so you probably also know you have to start early to make sure your year-end efforts pay off. It takes months of list building, inspiring donors, cultivating them, testing, and analyzing metrics to make the absolute most of year-end opportunities.

Participants will learn the most successful fundraising strategies including:

  • How to create compelling fundraising campaigns that motivate web visitors to make a donation on your website.
  • Which easy fixes you can make to your donation page, so that donors complete the donation process.
  • How to communicate with donors before, during, and after they donate money online to your nonprofit and build long lasting relationships.
