Hi NPP Family 💙 We want to take a moment to share an important reminder as our community continues to grow. There are members within this Skool community who are not part of The Nonprofit Plug team but may occasionally post tips, tricks, services, or advice. While we love the collaborative spirit here, please note that these individuals have not been vetted by The Nonprofit Plug, and their services or recommendations are not endorsed by NPP.

If you do nothing else before 12/31, follow this exact step-by-step. This is not theory. This is execution. THE 7-STEP YEAR-END DONOR SPRINT (Designed for nonprofit founders with limited time, energy, and capacity) STEP 1 — Pick ONE clear finish-line goal (10 minutes) No vague asks. One specific need. “We are raising $____ by 12/31 to _____.” Examples: - Cover 10 youth scholarships - Close a $3,000 program gap - Fund January operations If you can’t say it in one sentence, donors won’t fund it. STEP 2 — Build a REAL donor list (20 minutes) Not who you wish would donate—who actually might. Write down 25–50 names: - Past donors (any amount counts) - Volunteers, event attendees - Board members & close supporters - Partners who believe in your work This list = your money map. STEP 3 — Create a 3-tier ask (10 minutes) Give donors a decision they can make quickly. - $25 → does ___ - $50 → does ___ - $100 → does ___ Clarity converts. Period. STEP 4 — Write ONE message and reuse it everywhere (15 minutes) You don’t need multiple drafts. You need one strong ask. Template: “We have X days left in 2025 and we’re raising $____ by 12/31 to _____. Would you consider a gift of $25, $50, or $100 to help us cross the finish line? Every dollar goes directly to _____. Donate here: [link] Thank you for standing with us.” This is your email, DM, text, and post. Same message. Different places. STEP 5 — Personally reach out to your TOP 20 (this is the money step) Mass posts build awareness. Direct asks bring in donations. DM, text, or email your top supporters: “Hey , quick year-end ask. We have X days left and I’m closing our $_ goal for ____. Any chance you can support with $25–$100 today? Here’s the link: ____ 💛” This step alone can fund your goal. STEP 6 — Post for 3 days straight Don’t post once and disappear. - Day 1: Goal + why it matters - Day 2: Short story or impact example - Day 3: Countdown + “help us finish strong”
