Don’t want to be the gambler with that year-end ask? We get it. You have to know when to hold ’em and know when to fold ’em in your push for year-end major gifts. Make the ask or wait for the right moment to ensure transformative impact. Great fundraising isn’t about the nonprofit’s calendar—it’s about the donor’s timing, passion, and connection. Whether it’s a December 31 gift or a future commitment, “every hand’s a winner” when you prioritize your donors' needs and goals.
