The best year-end campaigns don't start in September. They start in June.
The best year-end campaigns don't start in September. They start in June.
Most organizations don't realize it, but the Summer Slump – the dip in fundraising revenue that happens in June, July, and August – isn't inevitable. It's what happens when nonprofits stop communicating with their donors.
The fundraisers who crush year-end aren't smarter or better resourced than everyone else. They just never went quiet. They sent a summer appeal when everyone else stopped. They had coffee with a major donor in July and came back with a matching gift commitment.
They showed up – and their donors remembered them when it mattered most.
It doesn't take a superhuman effort. It just takes a plan.

Your Summer Reporting and Your Ask
You’ll start with Reporting – the kind that makes your donors feel their gift made a specific, real difference. Steven will help you identify the Before + After story at the center of your Report and share the framework for delivering that story to your donors.
Then you’ll work on your summer Ask. You’ll identify the Need you’ll share with donors and start building the appeal based on a proven formula for powerful Asks.

Your Major Donor Summer Plan
The organizations that keep major donors close during the summer (and all year long) are the ones that get bigger gifts when year-end comes around.
Steven and Sarah will help you build a simple plan for staying in touch with your top donors during June, July + August. And they’ll help you workshop an Ask for matching gifts for your year-end campaign.

Busting the Summer Slump means staying engaged with your donors. And if that engagement leads to a stronger year-end – or one major donor committing to a matching gift – the intensive has paid for itself many times over.
But the more immediate value is simpler: you walk away with a Summer Slump busting plan you can execute. Not notes to sort through later. An actual plan.
