Every year, billions are donated on GivingTuesday, but only a small percentage of nonprofits turn that day into real momentum.

In this episode, I share exactly what the top 1% of nonprofits do differently to make GivingTuesday their biggest fundraising win of the year (without burnout, perfectionism, or chaos). You’ll learn the seven steps to lead with clarity, confidence, and courage, from creating a curated donation page to leading on email, activating your team, and treating the day like a 24-hour relay, not a morning sprint. Whether you’re a small shop or scaling organization, this episode is your roadmap to modern, high-converting campaigns that work, even when you’re short on time. Because GivingTuesday isn’t about doing it all, it’s about doing the right things, decisively.

Topics:

• The seven skills that set the top 1% of nonprofits apart on GivingTuesday
• Why perfectionism kills momentum, and how to lead with confidence instead
• The difference between generic donation forms and curated GivingTuesday pages
