I’m coming to you the Monday after Thanksgiving, still full of pie and finally catching my breath. I hope you had a moment to rest too, because I know what tomorrow means for so many of us: Giving Tuesday and the sprint to year-end.
If you’re feeling the weight of it all—your goals, your board, the world in general—I just want you to know: I see you. You’re doing meaningful work in a very complicated year. Please give yourself a little grace.
Before you send that Giving Tuesday email, here are three simple things to double-check:
1. Rethink your subject line
2. Don’t rely on just one email
3. Add a real PS and invite repliesBonus: Make your donate button obvious. People skim. Help them.
I’m hosting a free year-end reflection + 2026 planning session for newsletter subscribers. If you’d like to join, the signup link is in the show notes.
You’re not alone in this. You’re doing great work. Now go out there and raise what you can—and let the rest go.
