Happy Tuesday, fundraisers! I am writing to you from the west coast because I’m here for Dreamforce, the world’s largest software conference. And I’m ready to take a three-day deep dive into the world of nonprofit tech, Salesforce nonprofit offerings, and top fundraising tools.

Speaking of, I recently stumbled across this blog post about top affordable and free fundraising tools for nonprofits. We wrote it a couple years back to help nonprofits navigate the beginning of Covid-19, but it’s never a bad time to improve your online fundraising tools and processes. I hope you find it useful!

Happy Tuesday, fundraisers! How are you holding up? I noticed there are a few articles in this week’s newsletter that reference the honesty and heart that are often required to plan succcessful campaigns, and it reminded me of just how personal fundraising can be. When you’re really putting yourself into your work, it is even more important to take breaks and care for yourself. I hope you take the time to do that this week!

In other news, last week we released a brand new downloadable guide! This one is all about tools and strategies for optimizing online donations. You can download the Complete Guide to Online Donations for free here. Let me know what you think of it!

Happy Tuesday, fundraisers! With fall just around the corner (though not official until September 22!), it’s hard not to think about year-end fundraising prep.

I thought I would dig up an old but very helpful blog post that’s all about building a successful year-end fundraising campaign. Hopefully staying ahead in your planning will alleviate some of that pressure!
