Year-End Countdown

Donors today expect more than just a thank-you — they want to see their gift's impact and feel part of your mission. As the year-end giving season approaches, is your organization ready to deliver personalized, meaningful donor experiences that build long-term loyalty?

Watch this on-demand Community Conversation with fundraising consultant Mike Esposito, CFRE, as we explore how to build donor journeys that go beyond one-time appeals and drive lasting engagement.

We'll discuss how to: 

  • Personalize donor journeys using smart segmentation and automation
  • Strategically steward donors through phone calls, handwritten notes, and tailored touchpoints
  • Convert year-end donors into lifelong supporters through thoughtful post-gift engagement
  • Report gift impact in ways that resonate with different donor segments
  • Lay the foundation now for January stewardship that retains year-end donors into 2026

Whether you’re revamping your year-end strategy or fine-tuning your stewardship approach, you'll leave this session with ideas to make every donor feel seen, appreciated, and inspired to give again.
