FRISTERS’ Post

Ok, let's get real. Today is Monday, and we are officially in September. Time to get serious. Q4 is the most pivotal time for nonprofits (unless you're working on a different fiscal schedule) and for ALL donors. Why? Because regardless of fiscal year cycles, donors are aligned with the IRS calendar. That means every conversation, every outreach, and every connection in the coming months counts. Now is the time to reach out to your donors. Start scheduling those meetings, even if it’s just a coffee or a quick Zoom call. The goal isn't always to close the gift today—but to build the relationship, nurture the connection, and plant the seed. If you can have one or two meaningful conversations between now and the end of the year, you’ll set the stage for a successful ask. If you wait? You’re risking more than just missed dollars—you’re risking relationships, trust, and future support. Don't wait until it's too late. Take action now and secure your donor's partnership before the year closes. The time is now. Don't miss the window. #FundraisingTips #NonprofitLeadership #DonorRelations #Q4Giving #Philanthropy #MajorGifts #RelationshipBuilding #NonprofitGrowth #EndOfYearGiving #Fundraising

One of the top reasons why donors stop giving is that organizations never tell them how their giving made a difference. Reporting back on impact is extremely important to your relationship with your donors. It helps them feel more deeply connected to your organization and to your mission. Learn simple ways you can help your donor see the impact their making in our recent NonProfit Pro guest blog post, "4 Ways to Tell Your Donor, ‘You Made a Difference.'
