Ques 4) "We already reached out to our major donors in spring and they gave us emergency funding soon after Covid hit. Should I really ask again at year-end?" This is tricky! Review your list and ask bd mbrs + volunteers who know your #donors to weigh in then decide on the ask.

Ques 3) "Should I really be asking my donors for support now? They may be having a hard time financially." While it’s difficult to know all your supporter’s circumstances, take this opportunity to thank your #supporters, share details on your work, and yes, ask for a #donation.

Ques 2) "Should our #fundraising message be Covid-related?" The key is to be authentic in your msg and outreach. If Covid hasn’t touched your #nonprofit or those you serve, don't make it central. Focus on where you've had impact.
