December has to be one of the busiest months for anyone associated with nonprofit fundraising. This being the holiday season, people are full of generosity and tend to give a lot more than what they do otherwise. But within all this, we should not forget that there is an intense competition between scores of organizations to catch on to the limited attention and funds that are on offer during this time of the year.

Here we have compiled a list of some smart year end fundraising campaigns for you to learn from and attract a lion’s share of eyeballs.

Holiday Fundraising Catalogue by Many Hopes

Many Hopes is an organization which works in Kenya to eliminate the country’s poverty and corruption by building homes and schools for children. They started this campaign to help the girls in their homes. They have begun a holiday catalogue of impact gifts which one could buy in honour of someone that they love. Each gift displays giving levels based on the number of the gift items that one could purchase. Every gift comes with a customized ecard which would be sent to the person in whose honour you are buying the item, letting them know which gift was made on their behalf.

Season for Service by Build On

Possible Health is an organization that works towards the goal of universal low cost healthcare. In their push towards a recurring giving program, they have their microsite filled with some eye catching graphics to demonstrate the impact created by donors.
