8 Things to Do for the Next 8 Weeks

__Week of Nov. 12: Call three donors who gave significant gifts in 2013, haven't given yet in 2012 and aren't being actively solicited already. Tell them a few of your accomplishments this year, and ask them to give gifts before Dec. 31 to help you do even more in 2013.

__ Week of Nov. 19: Prepare an e-mail to go out to donors on Monday, Nov. 26, reminding them that Tuesday the 27th is Giving Tuesday. Granted, we have no idea how "big" this newly declared event is going to be, but we can assume there is going to be some publicity surrounding it. So be sure your donors think about you first when they hear or see promotions for Giving Tuesday.
