With 2017 coming to a close, your organization is probably focusing its last efforts on year-end fundraising—and with good reason!

Since it was founded in 2012, #GivingTuesday has exploded in popularity. In 2015, $116.7 million was donated in this one day. The next year, that number jumped to $168 million. 2017 is expected to be record-breaking as well.
So, what can you do to make sure you get your piece of the giving day pie?

When I am asked about Charity Navigator I often joke that they are a “frenemy” of GuideStar. But the truth is that they are a friend.
