Hi Amy, I tried something new this year and did a “Day of Giving” the week before Giving Tuesday. While I didn’t quite hit my goal, your advice is great. I’ll implement your suggestions for personal call follow-ups for donors and reaching out to LYBUNT supporters in mid-December, building on the recent personalized update emails I sent at the end of October and the first few days in November.

That's why I'm glad I came across this interview with Brian D'Erario , a partnership expert who's worked with several well-known publications, including Morning Brew. He offered some solid advice we can use at the next trade show we attend. ?

For many nonprofit organizations and NGOs, managing grants and monitoring projects with spreadsheets and manual processes feels familiar—but is it holding your organization back? As funding requirements become more complex and stakeholder expectations for transparency grow, relying on outdated methods can lead to inefficiencies, missed opportunities, and compliance risks.

Here’s a familiar scene: your nonprofit organization just won its first big grant, and you’re ecstatic. But before receiving funds, you need to show you’re legally registered, governed by a board, and have solid financial management policies. On top of that, there’s a lengthy contract to review and sign. It’s a lot of due diligence and compliance work to handle.

Healthcare nonprofits today face a challenging landscape where balancing donor management and fundraising is critical—because the journey of nurturing relationships with donors is as critical as the healthcare services you provide. The pivotal systems you use—nonprofit Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems and fundraising tools—are not mutually exclusive but complementary tools in your mission to acquire, retain, and grow your donor base.

I really dislike Giving Tuesday–I think they should have it the Tuesday before Thanksgiving (for many reasons) and it feels like we are competing with ALL other nonprofits on the same day. However, I used AI to create a plan for Giving Tuesday which made it all a bit easier for me! It wrote the posts/recommended the pictures/images and so I didn’t feel so overwhelmed!

For nonprofits today, managing donor relationships and fundraising efforts is essential. Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and fundraising tools play a significant role. It can be helpful to think of these tools not as separate elements but as complementary forces in your mission to engage, nurture, and expand your community of supporters.

I’m a long-time professional fundraiser, now only taking occasional consulting work. When Giving Tuesday began years ago, I enthusiastically embraced it, participated in it, and watched its success grow year after year. This year, I’ve begun to think GT may have overstayed its welcome. I’m sure it still helps organizations raise some funds but wonder how much of those funds wouldn’t have been raised through thoughtful, personalized fundraising at year end anyway.
