Church leaders know that end-of-year donations can have a big impact on their annual budget, which helps to fulfill their mission. Between the generous spirit of the holiday season and the December 31st deadline for tax-deductible contributions, the end of the calendar year is the most popular time for people to donate to churches. 

In fact, churches receive an average of 30% of their annual donations in the month of December alone! This is why creating an engaging and effective end-of-year giving campaign is essential to your church’s financial health and its ability to continue impacting your community. 

If you haven’t started planning yet, don’t worry! This guide will show you what to communicate and how to get your message across, as well as the best giving tools to maximize your year-end donations.
