Tip#19: Have a Backup Plan (especially if you have a match)

The reality is that you may not reach your #GivingTuesday goals. The good news is that it’s ok – so long as you have a backup plan. When soliciting a matching gift, make sure you talk to your donor(s) openly about the possibility of carrying the match beyond #GivingTuesday. Chances are, they’re ready to commit their gift no matter how long it takes to raise the corresponding support. Also, be prepared to have a continuation plan for your match campaign. Frame it as a benefit to your audience providing them with some flexibility.
