Giving Tuesday is a global day of giving inspired by generosity and gratitude. It’s an exciting day for nonprofits, which, in turn, makes it a super-saturated market for fundraising.
From increasing year-end donations to new donor acquisition, every organization will have their own goals for Giving Tuesday. Whatever they may be, there are some proven digital fundraising strategies that can improve engagement, drive traffic, and make your Giving Tuesday campaign stand out.

Sometimes, even the best-planned fundraising campaigns need a little extra push halfway through to reach their goals. Maybe the donations aren’t coming in as quickly as expected, or perhaps donor engagement is lower than anticipated. The good news is that adjusting your approach mid-campaign is not only possible, but it’s often the key to success.
Recently, we faced this exact scenario with a client. After reviewing the campaign’s progress, we noticed that it was falling short of expectations in terms of revenue and number of gifts. Rather than waiting and hoping things would turn around on their own, we worked with the client to make strategic changes that helped drive better results. Here are the steps we took to achieve that.

The year-end season at nonprofits is a beautiful jumble of holiday cheer and urgency. And at Doing Good Digital, we live for it! It’s a time to reflect on the year, have fun, and raise money for missions that are changing the world.
Year-end fundraising emails are one of the best ways to connect with your audience and reach your fundraising goals before the year comes to a close. They’re a way to bring your organization’s voice to your donors (on whichever device they may be on!) and how to maximize year-end donations.

As digital becomes more and more of a focus in hospitals and health systems, it is time to find new ways to connect digitally with recently discharged patients through grateful patient programs. These digital programs are designed to introduce patients to the organization’s mission, values, and community, with the ultimate goal of building long-term relationships that lead to future support. However, to truly understand the effectiveness of these initiatives, we often get asked about the return on investment (ROI) of this type of email campaign. Here at Doing Good Digital, when we build grateful patient programs, we emphasize the importance of tracking engagement as a factor that’s often even more meaningful than revenue.

Building a strong email list is more than just gathering names—it's about creating meaningful relationships, even digitally, that can propel your nonprofit’s mission forward. Your email list gives you a direct line to supporters who care about your cause, whether they’re potential donors, volunteers, or advocates. It’s an efficient and budget-friendly way to keep your community engaged and informed.

Let’s face it—getting people to open and interact with fundraising emails can be tough. We’re all competing for attention in crowded inboxes, so finding a way to stand out is key. That’s why we decided to try something new in our latest eNews: a live poll. Spoiler alert: it worked really well.
