NXUnite invites you to their event

Reflection and Looking Forward: Reevaluating After Year-End Giving

About this event

Nonprofits face the year-end giving seasons with mixed feelings. On one hand, it’s the best time of the year since you can feel the spirit of giving from just about everyone. At the same time, it’s a stressful time for nonprofits given that goals and targets must be met. Taking a look at your nonprofit's year-end giving program, what can we learn for next year? How can you use your year-end giving to springboard your 2023 giving? Join us as we chat with some industry experts to discuss strategies on how to evaluate and realign year-end giving programs.
