Our Gift To You: Free Holiday Themed Templates To Help You Raise More

Marssie Versola

Tis’ the season of giving, and boy oh boy are we excited!  If you could see us now, you'd see ribbons, bows and confetti coming out of our ears. We love the holidays! A whole season of giving. What's better than that? 

In the world of fundraising, December is the largest month of giving, by far. According to the Blackbaud 2016 Charitable Giving Report, in 2016, online giving in December increased for the second consecutive year and represented nearly a quarter of all online giving for the year.


And we all know individuals are far more likely to make a donation when they're asked by someone they know.  In fact, 1 out of 4 emails from an individual results in a donation, compared to 1 out of 25 from an organization. This is the power of peer to peer fundraising!  This is the power of everydayhero. So what are you waiting for?!   Let's get started.

As you build your holiday campaign, consider using one of our fun Holiday templates, or use your own images and content. Our campaign checklist is another great resource, as look to build out your campaign.  Then once you've built your campaign, download our Year End Toolkit for great tips and templates to help you get the word out.



If you’ve never created a campaign using your everydayhero Pro tool or need a refresher, first, watch this short Campaign Creation tutorial. Then choose a template, (click the image and the right click to save the image to your desktop), copy and paste the content below for your landing page content and supporter page story... and you'll be on your way.

It's such a special time of year. A time to come together with friends, family, and loved ones. A time to create lasting memories together - breaking bread, exchanging gifts, and sharing ourselves. A time to celebrate. A time to give generously to the ones we love, and those who are less fortunate.

This year, we invite you to join with [CharityName] to help make a difference for [Insert mission/cause].
Start your fundraising page today, and help us reach our fundraising goal of [FundraisingGoal]. Remember, all donations are tax deductible. We find that many people are looking to make charitable donations before the current tax year cut off, December 31st, so it's a great time to make your donation and encourage your friends and family to donate as well!
