Giving Days still work - but the standard 24-hour, matched giving formula is no longer enough to cut through. As more charities run similar campaigns, donor attention is harder to capture and even harder to hold.
The organisations seeing the strongest results aren’t doing more - they’re doing it differently.
From staggered “hours of power” and VIP early access, to emotionally-led campaigns tied to major cultural moments, we’ll unpack what’s working right now - and how these strategies are brought to life through real-time SMS and MMS communication that drives immediate action. You’ll walk away with practical, proven ideas you can apply straight away, plus a clear framework for evolving your next Giving Day - using smarter timing, better donor experiences, and more effective communication to increase impact without increasing workload.
