The holidays are the most important time of the year for fundraising when nonprofits raise the majority of their annual operating revenue. At Second Harvest of Silicon Valley, financial donations are down about 20% from where we were at this time last year, and the food bank is receiving donations from fewer donors. As we move into the final days of December, Second Harvest still needs to raise $4M by 12/31 to stay on track with its annual goal. A staggering 1 in 6 people in Santa Clara and San Mateo counties are turning to Second Harvest for support. That equates to Second Harvest providing food to an average of 500,000 people every month. Last month we served 520,000 people. It’s critical we make our goal and we are asking our community to donate what they can to help at https://shfb.online/hm2023 —every $1 can help provide enough food for 4 nutritious meals with our current match. #FeedingSiliconValley

It's estimated that 60+ million people volunteer more than 4 billion hours annually. While many are motivated to volunteer, we sometimes hit roadblocks or challenges to achieve this objective. Among them is finding the “extra” time to donate. Overcome this and other barriers by considering the following tips when making a volunteer choice: https://bit.ly/3Wo1asO #community #BBB

Here’s a fundraising hack to get donors to come back to your donation form… Introducing Donorbox’s Giving Reminder feature. Picture this: When a potential donor exits your pop-up donation form without finishing, they'll get a gentle nudge at the bottom right of their screen to complete the transaction. Simple? Yes. Powerful? Big time. Recovering critical funds for your mission has never been easier. And when you pair the Giving Reminder with our Sticky Donate Button—a cool button that can be anchored to the side of each page of your website that directs supporters to your pop-up form—you get a one-two punch that Bruce Lee would be proud of.
