  • Giving Tuesday Ideas/Strategies
    • Update your Givebutter page with a Giving Tuesday campaign goal and add other Giving Tuesday images or text.
    • Create a Giving Tuesday email signature with a link to your Givebutter page
    • Share “I give because” videos or photos from key supporters and share them as part of the campaign
    • Memes, social stories and videos, and unique hashtags
    • Live streams during the day talking about your campaign
    • Utilize Video
      • Fundraising campaigns that feature personal videos raise 150% more than those that don’t. Video testimonials with personal stories make viewers feel emotionally connected and help them understand what their money or time will accomplish.
  • Video Examples

    • Have a plan in advance for how staff will participate and amplify your Giving Tuesday message – what communication/marketing activities will they engage in?
    • Do you have ambassadors that represent different communities of supporters?

    • Remind donors of the impact of their gifts. Thank and update them frequently to establish a stronger connection to your work. 
    • Send a thank you text or email or make a quick call to say thanks

    • Shout on social media channels (with their permission)
