Capacity-building is not just a buzzword.

It’s what happens when information meets support, and when nonprofit teams have a partner who believes in the potential of their mission. 🤝🌟

When you have the space, support, and peer collaboration to work on your mission — not just in it — magic happens. 🪄

That is why The Giving Day Accelerator™ was created.

This virtual, done-with-you cohort is designed to help nonprofit teams build stronger Giving Day campaigns from the inside out — with strategy, storytelling, donor engagement, hands-on guidance, and real campaign pieces created along the way.

Giving Day success does not happen in 24 hours.

It is built through clarity, consistency, connection, and the confidence to put your campaign into action.

Applications are now open for our Summer 2026 cohort beginning July 14.

Enrollment covers up to two attendees from your organization.

A stronger Giving Day campaign starts with knowing 𝒘𝒉𝒐 you’re talking to, and 𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕 will move them to give! 💸

Hear from James Paul, Executive Director of Blacque Acres Inc, as he shares how 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗚𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿™ — formerly known as Helping Hands — helped him sharpen his message, strengthen his strategy, and raise nearly $11,000 during Mohawk Valley Gives.

Those funds helped support Blacque Acres Inc.’s mission to provide underserved communities with access to affordable, healthy, garden-fresh vegetables year-round! 🥦

The Giving Day Accelerator™ is a six-week, done-with-you cohort for nonprofit leaders, fundraisers, and marketing teams who want to build, market, and launch stronger Giving Day campaigns.

It’s a hands-on program where your team walks away with a clearer campaign message, donor engagement plan, content calendar, email strategy, and launch plan before Giving Day begins.

🚀 We’re excited to officially announce 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗚𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿™!

Giving Day success does not happen in 24 hours. It is built in the weeks leading up to it — with the right strategy, message, tools, and support.

That is why we created 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗚𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿™, a done-with-you, six-week capacity-building program designed to help nonprofit teams craft, market, and launch a stronger Giving Day campaign.

You may know this program as Helping Hands, our inaugural 2025 cohort in which we helped 11 nonprofits raise a combined total of $220,941 during Mohawk Valley Gives Day 2025 — a $146,708 increase from the prior year! 🌟

Now, we have rebuilt and expanded the program into a lunch-and-learn style experience unlike any other nonprofit education program!

This is not just training. Your team will build the actual campaign as you go.

Two buddies from the #315 who love an AI-driven donation experience. 🤝🙋🏻‍♀️

That’s what it’s like when our Fundraise Up guru, Larry Cardarelli comes to town.

It’s a fact…as a organization, your donation platform is either helping you grow or it’s quietly holding your mission back.

On the surface, everything looks fine.

The donate button works.
Checks are coming in.

But when you take a closer look, the donations you’re not capturing online are costing you much MORE than you think.

Whether it’s through social media, your email marketing, or your search presence…all roads lead to your website.

Your donation experience isn’t just a backend tool.

It’s actually the backbone of your entire digital strategy.

This is exactly why we don’t just run ads for our clients, we build systems that turn clicks into donors.

If you’re putting time and energy into digital marketing but not seeing the return you expected…it might be what happens AFTER the click.

If you’re a nonprofit leader, answer this…👇
When is the last time you tested your online donation experience?
