Welcome the Giving Season

Autumn 2023

Fall has arrived with cooler nights and autumn leaves… and along with it the “giving season”. The period from October to year’s end is the most rewarding time of the year for non-profits. Many studies claim that December alone is responsible for about one-third of total annual donations.

This is the best time of year to increase fundraising activity. Fall represents holiday time with people from all religions and creeds celebrating religious and traditional holidays. This is when most people are caught up with the season and in a giving mood more likely to support others and charitable causes.

The holiday season strengthens the sense of community and helps build a stronger emotional feeling toward charitable causes and those in need. As well, individuals, smaller companies, and corporations many times are supporting causes at year’s end to receive tax benefits. 

Wishing you success with your fall fundraising.
