To help kickstart year-end giving, many communities host Local Giving Days, also known as Days of Giving. For example, upcoming giving days include Colorado Gives Day in Colorado, GAgives Day in Georgia, and Give to the Max Day in Minnesota. Even if you don’t have a local giving day coming up in your community, Giving Tuesday is coming up on December 1 as the International Day of Giving, celebrated all over the world to support nonprofits. This week on the Nonprofit Jenni Show, we’ll share an example of a local giving day fundraising campaign, and talk about four reasons nonprofit leaders shy away from Giving Tuesday. Jenni also shares an update about a free way to spread the word about your nonprofit or social enterprise’s products and services during the holiday shopping season. We’re compiling a “Gifts That Give Back” ecatalog for people who want to support good causes this winter, and you can apply to have your items included for free! Visit tinyurl.com/nonprofitjennigifts to submit your items for consideration.
