Engaging Philanthropy - Year End Giving
|
|
DeBrincat Consulting Group offers the following thoughts on year-end giving. Stay tuned for information on a spring webinar and summer institute to assist MANS member schools with crafting broad advancement plans.
Year End Giving - Never Too Late
Before you settle into the holiday break though, an extensive year-end giving program, structured with appropriate counsel and planning, could become the most impactful fundraising effort of your school year. Year-end giving can surpass raffles, benefits, outings, and mini-campaigns combined. For perspective, a strategic year-end giving program could raise from 30 - 50% of your school's donations in a given year. That could definitely be a great holiday gift to your school's financials.
