Setting Your Giving Day Goal(s)

\A Giving Day event can help you achieve a variety of goals related to donor

engagement, generating awareness for your work, and raising funds for your mission. But what monetary success looks like for each organization is different. Set a goal that makes sense for you!

Reviewing & Updating Your Page

After setting your goals for the event and discussing with your team what you want to fundraise for, look at your page on the Giving Day website. If you are new to this event (or need a refresher), visit this Mightycause article for tips on how to update your page.


If you've participated before, be sure to read through your entire page and update it for this year. Want a short explainer on what to update? Check out the 12 minute video segment below from a '24 training for tips. The video should automatically start at the 22:50 mark.
