Nonprofits raise almost half of their annual budgets between October and December. So, no matter what kind of organization you have, you need to be doing something throughout the holiday season -- and now is the time to strategize and activate plans. This is why I’ve called on area expert Mike Spear. We talk about End of Year Giving, #GivingTuesday, and what you can do in January to steward your donors and cultivate them for bigger gifts.
With over 10 years in the social sector, Mike comes from a different background, and his ideas are reflective of a mindset that’s beyond traditional fundraising. He was a journalist and a filmmaker, before working in a little startup called Stay Classy Productions. Since then, it has evolved into Classy.org, a social enterprise that creates top-notch online fundraising software for nonprofits, modernizing the giving experience to accelerate social impact around the world. Mike Spear recently created Moonshot.co and the Cause & Purpose Podcast. Working directly with high-impact organizations ready to level up for major growth, he focuses on the “why” first, and then strategies for major impact from there.
