Given the importance of year-end giving, several national events have been established to help nonprofits promote fundraising. These campaigns may help bring extra awareness to your fundraising programs.
- National Philanthropy Day: Nov. 15, 2022. While your supporters should be recognized throughout the year, this day has been set aside to shine the spotlight on volunteers and donors.
- #GivingTuesday: Nov. 29, 2022. Coming shortly after Black Friday and Cyber Monday, Giving Tuesday encourages donors to add their favorite charities to their gift list.
- Year-End: Dec. 31, 2022. The charitable giving deadline for the roughly 20 million taxpayers who itemize charitable gifts is traditionally one of the most popular days of the year for online and direct mail gifts.
