Prepare for a Prosperous End-of-Year (Part 2)

Last week I suggested three things to do now to help your organization prepare for an avalanche of year-end donations. These included reviewing your website with a critical eye to make sure it communicates well with the uninformed potential donor (not just to insiders); reviewing your receipting process and taking any necessary steps to facilitate processing an increased volume of donations in a timely manner; and investing in goodwill with your faithful donors, making sure they know how much you appreciate them.
Now that Jan. 1 is just 109 days away, there are a few more things you can do to make sure there's nothing between your organization and a year-end gift from your supporters.
