Give to the Max – Matching funds
Board match, volunteer hour match – anything
can help, and any amount can help.
@NextNonprofits #gtmd15
16
Give to the Max – Projects
Establish a specific project
funded with Give to the
Max money. Even a reserve
fund target is a project
goal!
@NextNonprofits #gtmd15

Give to the Max - Images
 Last year, images were
limited. Waiting for info on
this year, but plan for
outside sources.
 Consider infographics or
memes.

Give to the Max – GiveMN images
 GiveMN.org has a toolkit with images to use
in the campaign. Use them with your own,
not instead of yours.
@NextNonprofits #gtmd15
19
Give to the Max - Videos
 Video support can be
very helpful.
 Keep them short.
 A phone-camera video
is better than no video.
 Facebook them!

Give to the Max – Joint campaign
 Consider leveraging program partnerships to
increase reach and strength.

(and perhaps getting donations).
