Year-End Giving
As the holidays approach, so does one of the most generous times of the year for charitable giving. This surge in generosity makes year-end the perfect time to inspire your supporters and grow your impact. Communities Foundation of Texas will once again host a Year-End Giving Campaign on NorthTexasGivingDay.org, launching November 17.
Here are some tips for making the most of your Year-End Giving campaign.
1. Drive donations through your organization page
Update your page to capture year-end attention by adding:
- Fundraising goals or matching campaign
- Volunteer opportunities
- Updated stories, stats, and photos
- Custom donation amounts at checkout
For more tips on how to make the most of your page, view our Profile Page Enhancement tips.
2. Sell goods that give back
If your nonprofit offers merchandise or gifts, you can link to those items on your organization page.
Note: do not sell directly through NorthTexasGivingDay.org. This ensures that all donations made on our site remain fully tax-deductible, as no goods or services can be received in exchange for a charitable gift.
4. Invite supporters to give in someone’s name
Encourage donors to honor a loved one or colleague this season. They can include a tribute note at checkout, and the recipient will be notified of the gift.
Want to create lasting support for your nonprofit's mission?
Imagine having a reliable source of funding for your nonprofit every year. That’s what an endowment fund makes possible. Communities Foundation of Texas manages the investments—and even makes it simple to accept complex gifts like stock, IRAs, and other assets—so your organization can focus on what matters most: serving your community.
