Grant Writing & Funding

In this episode, Holly Rustick sits down with Sean Kosofsky to share timely strategies for navigating inflation during your nonprofit’s end-of-year giving campaign while maximizing fundraising results. They cover essential foundations of end-of-year fundraising, including how to anchor your revenue goals, which funding streams to prioritize, and why it’s critical to go deeper into proven strategies during this high-impact season. 

Sean shares insights on how inflation may impact smaller individual donors and why now is the time to confidently ask major donors for increased support. 

The conversation also explores creative engagement tactics like personalized video thank-yous, optimizing your nonprofit’s technology, and repurposing strategies to stay top of mind. Looking ahead, they discuss when to begin planning for the new year and key fundraising trends to watch, giving nonprofits a clear roadmap to strengthen both current and future campaigns.
