The best (and FREE-est) fundraising webinar on the Internet ... just got even better
Tactical Thursdays
Summer School
Transform your summer fundraising in just 10 weeks -- for FREE
You can be raising money when everyone else is struggling with the dreaded 'Summer Slump'
Let's be honest.
The first half of 2025 has been challenging.
And with summer fast approaching -- well, you know what that means for nonprofit fundraising: the Summer Slump.
The good news? Summer is actually the perfect time to refine your fundraising approach for the rest of the year.
And the better news? Summer is actually a great time to raise money (but shhhhh keep that between us).
Sign up for Tactical Thursdays Summer School (presented by The Better Fundraising Company) and join a community of fundraisers who are serious about turning the traditional 'summer slump' into a season of growth and strong fundraising. And having fun doing it.
TT Summer School is FREE
At Tactical Thursdays Summer School, you'll do two things: create actual fundraising pieces you can use immediately, and learn the insider tactics that traditional fundraising education never covers.
Here's exactly what you'll do during this 10-week program
Unit 1 (May 29 - June 26)
You'll craft a fundraising plan for the summer months and four ready-to-send fundraising pieces designed specifically to generate donations during the slowest months of the year.
- A shortfall appeal that actually works (and we all have a shortfall somewhere)
- An e-appeal for when you absolutely positively need to raise money by the end of the week
- Newsletter stories that make donor feel so GREAT they wanna give again
- And a monthly donor recruitment campaign that'll get you new monthly donors at just the right time
Unit 2 (July 10 - 31)
We're bringing in fundraising veterans to share the strategies they wish someone had taught them years ago. You'll learn:
- How to get your reluctant board members genuinely involved in major donor fundraising
- Exactly what to do when a major donor says 'no' (hint: it's not game over)
- How to conduct interviews that uncover powerful stories
- And one more powerful session I'm not at liberty to discuss quite yet 🙂
There's never been anything like Tactical Thursdays Summer School
And I'm honestly not sure why ...
If you know and love Tactical Thursdays, you're really going to LOVE Tactical Thursdays Summer School. And not just because our friends from the Better Fundraising Company have helped develop the sessions and content.
Unlike Traditional Fundraising Webinars, where someone talks AT you for 55 minutes (then sends you a recording you'll never watch), Tactical Thursdays Summer School is laser-focused on getting you from 'don't have' to 'have' in record time.
In June, you won't just learn about how to beat the 'Summer Slump' -- you'll CREATE the fundraising materials you need to do so. You'll log outta Zoom with something you can send to your donors immediately -- or send to your printer for mailing.
No more staring at a blank document wondering where to start or what to say.
And our July sessions? They'll get you fired up to tackle the fundraising challenges that keep you up at night -- the ones nobody prepared you for. You're busy, overwhelmed, and possibly the only fundraiser at your organization. Everything you'll learn during Tactical Thursdays Summer School is designed for practical implementation, even with limited resources.
Fundraising can be a lonely job
But it doesn't have to be.
And that's what makes the Tactical Thursdays community so amazing: You'll connect with other fundraisers facing the same challenges, sharing wins and working through obstacles together.
Oh, here's a good idea! Send this page to a few fundraising friends in your community. Invite them to sign up for TT Summer School (it's FREE afterall), and watch as your local fundraising community gets even stronger.
And this might be my most favorite part of the Summer School. We're going to set an ambitious goal of raising $200,000 collectively as a Tactical Thursdays Summer School community.
Each week, we'll track our progress together, celebrating every dollar raised and learning from each other's wins. You'll be motivated by seeing others succeed, gain confidence from contributing to a shared goal, and have the accountability that comes from being part of something bigger than your individual organization.
By summer's end, you'll have tangible proof that the Summer Slump is optional, not inevitable.
Have your questions answered
If you've got a fundraising question, Tactical Thursdays Summer School is the place to come to get it answered ... for FREE!
There's ALWAYS time for Q&A during Tactical Thursdays. Because if you have a question, someone else does, too. And we all do better when we all do better.
Each session will be recorded
Even if you can't participate in all of the Tactical Thursdays Summer School sessions live, you can still watch them and learn from them.
Every episode is recorded and posted in the Tactical Thursdays library. So you can always catch up on past episodes and share relevant episodes with your boss, your board or your fundraising friends.
