With Giving Tuesday coming up, we wanted to ensure you had everything you need to plan a successful campaign. That's why we created your Giving Tuesday Campaign Checklist - a comprehensive, step-by-step guide to help you plan and execute a Giving Tuesday campaign that will engage your donors and raise more money for your nonprofit.

Giving Tuesday Campaign Checklist

1. Define Your Goals

The first step in any campaign is to define your goals. What do you hope to achieve with your Giving Tuesday campaign? Are you looking to increase donations, grow your email list, or promote a specific fundraising initiative? Once you've defined your goals, you can start planning your strategy.

2. Community Mapping Your Ideal Audience

The second step is to consider who you're trying to reach with your Giving Tuesday campaign. Who are your ideal donors? What kinds of messaging will resonate with them? Community mapping is a great way to get inside the heads of your donors and understand what motivates them to give.

3. Developing Your Campaign Messaging

Now that you know your goals and who you're trying to reach, it's time to start developing your campaign messaging. What story will you tell with your Giving Tuesday campaign? How will you connect your donors to your mission?

4. Planning Your Giving Tuesday Campaign

Now that you have your goals, audience, and messaging sorted out, it's time to start planning your Giving Tuesday campaign. What kind of content will you create? What channels will you use to reach your donors? How can you make your Giving Tuesday campaign stand out from the rest?

5. Develop Your Peer-to-Peer Campaign Strategy

If you're planning on running a Giving Tuesday peer-to-peer campaign, there are a few additional steps you'll need to take. You'll want to provide your fundraisers with clear instructions on how to create a fundraising page, set a fundraising goal, and start sharing their Giving Tuesday campaign with their networks. You'll also want to create some sort of Giving Tuesday leaderboard or fundraising thermometer to help motivate your fundraisers and show donors the progress of your campaign.

6. Creating Your Giving Tuesday Content

Now it's time to start creating your Giving Tuesday content! This is where the rubber meets the road - all of your planning and strategy come together in the content you create for your Giving Tuesday campaign. You'll want to write compelling copy, design eye-catching visuals, and develop creative and personal ways to engage your donors.

7. Launch Your Giving Tuesday Campaign

After all your hard work, it's finally time to launch your Giving Tuesday campaign! But before you hit send, make sure you've proofread your content, reviewed your campaign goals, and prepared your team for a busy day. Then sit back, relax, and watch the donations come rolling in!

8. Thank Your Donors & Celebrate Your Success

After your Giving Tuesday campaign has wrapped up, it's time to thank your donors (and yourself!) for all their support. You can send out personal thank-you notes, post a campaign wrap-up on your website or social media, or even throw a Giving Tuesday party to celebrate your success

We hope you find this Giving Tuesday Campaign Checklist helpful as you start planning your Giving Tuesday campaign.
