It’s year-end fundraising time. You may have already started your campaign or are planning to soon. Nonprofit organizations rely on year-end for a good chunk of their revenue. Maybe you haven’t raised as much money as you planned this year and need to make up for that. Maybe your fundraising appeals never seem to perform as well as you would like. Fundraising is hard and you can’t just send a bunch of generic appeals and hope the money comes in.
