The Big List of National, Local and Collegiate Online Giving Days

Are you thinking about participating in a giving day? Good news! There are so many organizations that have given it a try, and you can learn from them (the good and the bad).

Look at their websites, donation landing pages, countdown clocks, emails, social media accounts, images and hashtags. Do a Google News search to check out the earned media these days have achieved. Reach out to a fellow nonprofits and ask them to share their experiences.

Giving days can be great ways of harnessing the immediacy and connectedness of social networks to raise funds, recruit new supporters and raise awareness of your mission.
