Annual Appeal Timing Adjustments In response to your feedback, the Annual Appeal is moving to February! Many of you expressed concerns about soliciting Annual Appeal gifts and Move for the Kids participation during the same time period Some felt too many people are away during the summer and that it could hurt response Better timing to use as a follow-up ask for prospects who did not attend or give to the Fashion Show in the fall Original timing in May worked better for you? That’s okay too! We are happy to work with you on a case-by-case basis to identify and accommodate the best strategies for your prospects.
