8 practical steps to take ASAP for a successful end of year

Most of what determines how your year-end performs is decided before the first appeal goes out. Which donors you segment, the gift types to promote, whether to prioritize digital, print, or a combination of both.

But with a small team and a short runway, how do you know which decisions move the needle and which ones should wait until next year?

Watch Patrick Schmitt, co-CEO of FreeWill, lead this session built for year-end 2026 on the eight things you can do to set up a stronger finish during the most important fundraising days of the year.

In this webinar, we covered:

• The charitable giving landscape in 2026
• Tips for asking for non-cash gifts at year-end
• The 8 steps to make this year-end better than the last
