Who, What, When, and How Often: Developing Your Utah Gives Day Communications Plan
Tuesday, February 17, 2026 (11:00 AM - 12:00 PM) (MST)
Description
Join UNA in collaboration with GiveMN for a communications workshop that will help you launch a strong, successful UTAHGIVES campaign.
When it comes to giving days, some of the most common questions our team hears include, “How often should I send emails to my audience? Which social media platforms should I be on? How many posts is too many posts?!” Have no fear! In this session, we’ll walk through how to build a communications plan for Utah Gives Day that fits your audience, messaging, and goals.
What You Will Learn:
- The Five Components of a Good Fundraising Story
- Communications Channels
- Right Sizing Your Strategy
- Takeaways and Reminders
- Q&A and Discussion
- Upcoming UTAHGIVES trainings and announcements
You will also receive a downloadable communications workbook to craft your UTAHGIVES campaign.
The training will be recorded and shared with attendees along with the communications workbook. All UTAHGIVES resources will be available on the UTAHGIVES Nonprofit Resource page.
When: Tuesday, February 17, 2026 | 11:00 to 12:00 PM MT
Cost: FREE for everyone
