Why does peer-to-peer fundraising still work? Because people trust people. 💜
Peer-to-peer (P2P) campaigns turn one appeal into many by empowering your supporters to share your mission with the people who know and trust them. The result? Expanded reach, built-in social proof, and a community of passionate advocates.

But remember: It’s not just about the number of fundraisers—it’s about the quality of your team. Invest in engaged team captains and motivated fundraisers to make your campaign go further.

From birthday fundraisers and tribute campaigns to endurance events and corporate challenges, there’s a P2P strategy for every cause, community, and season.

We spend a lot of time segmenting year-end appeals: who to ask, when to ask, and what message they should receive. We should give just as much thought to what happens after people respond.

An early donor shouldn’t keep receiving the same solicitation once they have already answered your call to action. And a January campaign update should recognize the difference between someone who contributed and someone who didn’t. These are both easy mistakes to avoid when you plan your post-gift communication now and set your systems up to segment and suppress.

In this video, Thread CEO & Founder Loree Lipstein shares two small shifts that can help your year-end communication reflect the relationships you’re building with donors. What’s your plan for moving donors from solicitation to stewardship this year?

DAF Day is October 8. Is your nonprofit ready?
Donor-advised funds (DAFs) are an increasingly important part of charitable giving, but making the most of them takes more than adding a “Give from your DAF” button to your website.

From making the giving process easy to navigate to connecting DAF gifts to your mission’s impact, small changes can help donors turn their charitable intentions into meaningful support.

Swipe through for 5 ways to make the most of DAF Day and build a stronger DAF strategy that lasts beyond October 8.

Because it’s not just about how donors give. It’s about why they give and the impact they can make.

Does your nonprofit have a strategy for engaging DAF donors year-round?

Most event calendars weren’t planned. They accumulated.

Something worked once, and now it’s just what you do every March. But giving is coming from fewer donors, costs are up, and it’s harder to fill the room.

Elizabeth Gutting of Thread Strategies shares three questions to ask about every fundraising event:

What is it for? Pick the one primary purpose.
Are you measuring it against that purpose?
What does it cost in capacity, not just dollars?
The answer is rarely “keep it or kill it.” You can resize it, change its purpose, partner with someone, or move it to a quieter time of year. The goal isn’t fewer events. It’s a calendar you choose on purpose.

Which event on your calendar is due for a second look?

Why do people include a nonprofit in their will?
It’s easy to assume the answer has something to do with taxes, financial planning, or estate planning.

But in our experience, those aren’t usually the reasons that motivate people.

In this short video, Taryn Deaton, Executive Principal at Thread Strategies, shares why she believes planned giving is one of the deepest forms of donor engagement and why the best planned giving conversations don’t begin with assets. They begin with values.

Take a minute to watch the video, then let us know in the comments: What do you think most motivates someone to leave a charitable gift in their will?

What if planned giving isn’t as out of reach as many nonprofits believe?

August is Make-a-Will Month, making it the perfect time to explore that question.

In this short video, Taryn Deaton, Executive Principal at Thread Strategies, shares why she believes one of the biggest fundraising opportunities for nonprofits may be more accessible than many organizations realize.

If your organization has ever thought, “We know we should be doing planned giving...we just don’t have the time or capacity,” this conversation is for you.

Watch the video below, and then let us know in the comments: Has your organization started planning for planned giving, or is it still on the list for “someday”?

What if your monthly giving program wasn’t just about predictable revenue, but about building a community?

In this video, Thread Strategies’ Fractional Fundraising Consultant, Elizabeth Gutting, explains why the most successful recurring giving programs go far beyond monthly donations.

Recurring donors aren’t just a reliable source of funding; they’re your most committed advocates. When someone gives every month, they’re making a long-term commitment to your mission. The opportunity isn’t just to retain their gift; it’s to make them feel they truly belong.

When donors feel they’re part of something bigger, they don’t just keep giving; they become your biggest champions.

🎥 Watch Elizabeth’s tips for building a recurring giving program that strengthens both your fundraising and your community.
