MARKETING TOOLKIT NOW AVAILABLE!
|
|
You can now find all of the BDOG2019 marketing collateral and communications resources in the
Toolkit on the Big Day of Giving website! Look for these helpful items:
- The 8-Week Work Plan: A good place to start, if you'd like some help building a successful BDOG2019 campaign
- BDOG2019 Graphics: Use the BDOG2019 logos, social media icons, and shareable graphics to dress up your materials
- Customizable Templates: These easy-to-update templates can help make sharing your organization's participation in BDOG2019 with donors a breeze
As you know, your Big Day of Giving campaigns are most successful when you engage your donors and their networks by telling your organization's story in ways that inspire. (Shameless plug: attend this week's Bootcamp to learn more about impactful storytelling! Find the details below.)

It's never too early to start planning!
As you'll see in the 8-Week Work Plan, now is a good time to start planning your BDOG2019 outreach efforts in whatever way is most appropriate for your organization.
To complement your efforts, the BDOG team at the Foundation is preparing to launch the BDOG2019 global marketing campaign to ensure charitable people in the Sacramento region mark their calendars for May 2. Through media engagement, digital marketing, and outreach to past Big Day of Giving donors, we will share high-level information about this year’s giving day—including helpful information about scheduled giving, and the new peer-to-peer functionality—to augment your organization’s specific messaging. These are data-driven approaches we’re taking to encourage everyone in our community to give to the nonprofits that strengthen the Sacramento region on May 2...and they're amplified exponentially by your communications efforts! So, dive into the Toolkit, sign up for the last two Bootcamps, and let's get going!
