GivingTuesday may be over, but your biggest opportunities of the year are still ahead.
AI can’t replace your people — but it can amplify their brilliance and help you turn this week’s momentum into lasting generosity. Join Bloomerang’s Principle Industry Strategist, Kirst Wantland, to discover how nonprofits can use AI to make the final stretch of year-end fundraising more efficient, personal, and rewarding — all without burning out your team.
You’ll learn practical ways to use AI to:
* Convert engaged browsers into donors. Use AI to craft urgent, personalized follow-ups for donors who opened your emails or visited your donation page but haven’t given yet—while there’s still time to close the gift.
* Accelerate thank-yous and second asks. Turn every gift into an immediate, heartfelt acknowledgment, then use AI to identify which donors are positioned for a quick follow-up ask before December 31st (recurring gift upgrades, matching gift completion, or tribute gifts).
* Prioritize your final sprint. Use AI to segment your remaining prospects by likelihood to give and craft targeted messaging for your last 2-3 touchpoints—focusing your energy where it will generate the most revenue in the time you have left.
The future of fundraising is abundant — and it starts by using AI not just to work harder in these final weeks, but to work smarter: responding faster, personalizing at scale, and ensuring no gift opportunity slips through the cracks before December 31st.
