Lastly, you'll get a Prize Donation that boosts your energy when you've come to at least 3 of the 4 live discussion sessions, publish your campaign, share it with your audience, and start bringing in the first couple of donations.

Through the middle of December, you'll have access to weekly Office Hours to help you keep going with interacting, persisting, and celebrating.

⭐️ A feature in our enewsletter — such as a video interview — with your fundraising campaign link to invite donations.

🎉 A prize donation put right into your new Givebutter or Donorbox campaign after it's published within this upcoming Season of Giving, shared with your audience of 100 or more people, and has a couple donations starting to come in from your network (which you want to have anyway!).

☕️ A handmade mug to keep you cozy while doing your campaign outreach in the upcoming Season of Giving.

What we've found is that it often takes a little extra push to do something courageous. When you put money down on yourself (for example $50 or $100), you're believing in yourself and challenging your intentions and goals to come true.

The way we've set it up is that you're actually doing is creating a prize donation for your campaign. When you initiate your campaign, share it with at least 50-100 people in your audience (or enough to start getting donations), and then have the first couple donations showing in your fundraising campaign, you will win the deposit back as a prize donation dropped into your campaign with a celebratory comment from us on your Donor Wall that encourages others to give.

⏳ Weekly Year-End Check-Ins through the holiday season (do these while completing the modules as well)

💰 A Prize Donation from your optional Accountability Deposit to celebrate your courage and efforts once you launch your new campaign, and potentially an additional prize donation from a generous funder.

It's more fun to do this collaboratively in a group setting and much less expensive. You can still designate a team member or a board member to do it in your place or together with you to distribute the responsibility. The challenge includes valuable materials we created from our years of experience as consultants to nonprofits and social impact enterprises, so you get to benefit.
