A great year-end campaign starts around American Thanksgiving. Are you prepared?

Heather & Joe kick off season 2 of Fundraising @ Camp with a conversation about what they are doing (psst. and you should be doing) to prepare for their year-end campaigns. Because of taxes and the holiday season, our donors are in giving moods and we want to do everything we can to catch their attention.
