END-OF-YEAR COMMUNICATIONS — WITHOUT THE FRENZY

Stop Scrambling.

Start Succeeding.

Lori Bower, Presenter

President, BowerComm & Community Foundation Growth Institute​

Does your year-end campaign run you, or are you running it?

The end of the year is when generosity peaks, but too often, community foundations and nonprofits find themselves in a last-minute scramble. The result is a frantic scramble that leaves your team exhausted and your donors overwhelmed.

This masterclass shows you how to flip the script: planning calm, intentional communications that raise more money, strengthen relationships, and close the year with confidence...without the frenzy.

Join us for this live session and learn:

  • Matching audiences with asks: Who to approach for operations, unrestricted giving, or special funds, and how to time your outreach.

  • Crafting donor communications that convert: From killer letters to perfectly timed email sequences, learn what works and why.

  • Mini campaigns that pack a punch: Plug-and-play social media blitzes, PR hooks, and ad strategies, complete with ready-to-go scripts and graphics.

  • A planning calendar that keeps you ahead of the rush: Map out what to send, when, and how to measure progress.


Why Does It Matter?

Nearly 30% of annual giving happens in December—and 10% in the final three days alone. The opportunity is too great to leave to chance. With the right plan, you can:

- Raise more unrestricted dollars

- Strengthen relationships with loyal donors

- Launch new funds before year-end

- Close the year with confidence instead of chaos

Who should attend?

This session is ideal for community foundation and nonprofit executives, communications professionals, and development staff who want to get ahead in end-of-year planning to take full advantage of end-of-year generosity to set your organization up for success in the new year.
