Step By Step Fundraising NewsletterDecember 2008
It's December, where did the year go? Now there's little over three weeks til the end of the calendar year. Is it too late for your organization to raise the funds it needs for this year. No way! Time is short and there's holiday parties and vacations. Yes, I'd rather take the rest of the year off and just go shopping too. But I know there are non profits who are still concerned with making the revenue to meet their 2008 budget. While not as intense as the retail industry, fundraisers working in the non-profit sector can really feel the crunch during this time of year as well. So I've gathered some practical, low stress tips that can help.
Teleseminar with LIVE Q&A
This is a bonus teleseminar for "early-bird" orders that will help you make the most of your campaign both now and after your campaign. A few topics we'll cover include:

Year in Review - Mini Annual Report by Email
The email is a mini annual report, or "year in review." It begins by talking about how the organization has produced results on its mission this year, that is, helping East Africans become self-sufficient by starting small businesses. The email then describes ways that supporters can make a year end donation. It encourages the reader to call the VEF office and/or go to their website. It's definitely low key and not a "hard sell." But for someone who has already given in the past this could be further proof that their donations are going to the right place. You can view the newsletter in their online archives here.
