Session Description                                                                                                                                           Give to the Max Day isn't until November 12th 2015, so why plan now? A lot of community resources will be devoted to promoting giving that day, and smaller arts groups have the opportunity to leverage that publicity and plans if they act early. Join us for a session that includes tips on:

• Mobilizing an in-person event to get more publicity on Give to the Max
• Ready teams with specific tactics and messaging, like targeting a Golden Ticket campaign
• Including Give to the Max, #GivingTuesday and year-end giving in a single, 4th quarter strategy to avoid "donor fatique" while reaching new audiences
• Leveraging art as a donor tool to increase engagement (and fun) for supporters

Attendees will be encouraged to complete a calendar plan before leaving the session, and include measurements to see what methods work best for your audience, and then hone those tools for the future.
