End of Year Giving 

Launch a Giving Tuesday and End of Year Fundraising Campaign that Nurtures Your Donors and Funds Your Mission Now and for Years to Come!

Crash Course

The Crash Course starts September 30, 2024 and runs through Giving Tuesday. Join us today and make this your best fundraising season ever!

To the nonprofit leader, activist, fundraiser and world changer…

We see you.

We get you.

We are you.

And we know what it’s like this time of year. 

Along with the “back-to-school” season comes the awareness that “giving” season is right around the corner. 

Even though you know it would be best to start prepping your campaign, day-to-day demands take priority. 

Before you know it, it’s November. You haven’t planned any campaigns, drafted any social media posts, letters, or thank you notes….

That feeling of low-grade dread sets in, as you unsuccessfully balance campaign planning with daily deadlines, events, and admin that never seems to end.

Like we said, we’ve totally been there


And we want this season to be different for you. 

We want you to be wildly successful…because your work matters.

And we want you to know, you can soar to that success with a powerful end-of-year fundraising campaign.

You’ve got a story to tell. 

An audience to hear it. 

Money to be raised.  

And you know you can’t do it alone.

From Giving Tuesday to New Year’s Eve, 37% of all annual giving occurs…and a whopping 12% of all giving occurs in the last three days of the year.

That doesn’t mean you have to be working on Thanksgiving to launch your Giving Tuesday Campaign, or scrambling to send out emails on New Year’s Eve.  

But it does mean you need a plan.

Imagine starting the busiest fundraising season of the year with…

  • A winning fundraising strategy that shares your story with new and renewing donors

  • Giving Tuesday & End of Year giving campaigns done ahead of schedule and stress-free

  • A replicable and adaptable campaign blueprint for future fundraising campaigns 

  • Expert advice, coaching, and support every step of the way

Enter the Crash Course

In this eight-week program, together we’ll help you create and launch a successful end-of-year campaign that reaches the hearts - and wallets - of your donors. 

What if you could go into Thanksgiving with your Giving Tuesday and End Of Year fundraising campaign DONE

Launched, emails scheduled, mail to the printer, thank you letters queued up. 

How would that feel?

While everyone else is scrambling, you’re opening the mail to checks and sending cards to grateful donors. 

The End of Year Crash Course is designed to help you do just that. 

By Giving Tuesday, you won’t just be done with your campaign. You’ll have a great end-of-year fundraising plan and all the content to implement it successfully.

Join us from September 30th through December 3rd!

Every week of the Crash Course includes

  • A workshop facilitated by the Giant Squid Group team

  • Weekly homework with a to-do list and time estimates so you can plan your time and stay on track!

  • Coworking sessions so you can focus on your priorities

  • An assigned cohort of peers for weekly check-ins and accountability

  • Weekly accountability check-ins from the Giant Squid Group team!

By the end of our time together, you’ll know exactly what to do, when to do it, and you’ll have a support team to guide you through the entire process.

And, perhaps the best part of all, you’ll never have to deal with Giving Tuesday anxiety again, because you will have a repeatable plan that you can implement every year!
