GiveLocalNRV Giving Day: Early Giving is a Month Away

How is Planning Going for the Event?

May is here and we know that many of you are in the beginning stages of planning your campaign. In this note, we have links to resources that will help you as you plan. Additionally, consider joining us at upcoming in-person strategy sessions to connect with and learn from your peers. The next one is this Monday!

If none of the sessions work for you, please always feel free to reach out to our team to schedule a 1:1 meeting or call. Lastly, yesterday, we closed registration for this year's event. This year, 121 organizations will be participating! Check out the full list here.

GiveLocalNRV Web Resources

Nonprofit Toolkit

On this page, we've compiled all kinds of resources for you: guides for planning the event, reference sheets for what donations count and our grants/prizes, logos and graphic files for you to use and much more.

Frequently Asked Questions

On this page, we've compiled common questions that we get from nonprofit participants. We add to this page when we get new questions because we know that if one person has a question, others are likely wondering as well!

Webinar Library

On this page, you can watch recordings from past webinars and short videos. Coming soon to this page: tutorials on winning grants/prizes and how to use the peer-to-peer fundraising tool.

Email Templates

In this downloadable Word Document, you'll find email templates and a suggested email schedule for your campaign. Customize the templates and set a schedule for communication with your supporters!
