The 2023 "Giveys" for the Best Giving Days
Giving days have transformed donor engagement. Engaging your entire donor base and community on a special day is now one of the most effective tools to build a donor base, retain donors, engage major donors who both commit to gifts on giving day, and fund challenges and matches.
