In this episode of Fundraising Fundamentals, listen to Mary Cahalane, consultant and principal at the Hands-On Fundraising, share her tips for planning a successful year-end fundraising campaign.

But don’t stop there.
This is the time to collect stories about the people you serve, consider the story arc in your future appeals, set up a campaign calendar, and craft your communications down to the thank-you note, says Ms. Cahalane.
