Many nonprofits in North America end their fiscal year in June. The end of a fiscal year is a deadline. Chances are, there are people in your sphere of influence who’ve been meaning to donate.

I was once at a fundraising event supporting an organization that houses pregnant homeless women. I saw one of the most incredibly generous examples of giving that night.
