Make December count
Launch a branded campaign page, run a matching challenge, email your donors from the same place you collect their gifts, and close the year with receipts sent and books clean — set up in a day, free to start.
Free plan available. Paid plans from $100/mo.
Built for how a year-end campaign actually runs
Launch the campaign
Your appeal deserves a page built for it, not the same donate form you use the rest of the year.
Drag-and-drop campaign page with your story, your goal, a live fundraising thermometer, and a countdown to December 31. Point gifts at specific funds if your appeal covers more than one program. Or embed a donation form directly into your existing site.
Line up your match
A match gives your donors a reason to give now instead of putting it off until January.
Set up a matching challenge with a custom ratio, a per-gift cap, and start and end dates, with your sponsor or board’s name and logo on it. Matched dollars count toward your goal as gifts land — and you can run more than one across the season, so the final week has its own.
Run your appeals from where your donor data already lives
A year-end appeal is a series, not a single send — and it works better when your email and your donor records are the same system.
Build your appeal series with built-in email and automations: schedule the sequence in advance, let it send on its own, and tag donors as they respond so you can track what worked and follow up accordingly. Because you’re sending to records that already hold each supporter’s giving history, there’s no export, no second tool, and no list that’s a week out of date by the time it goes.
Take gifts every way December brings them
Your donors give in different ways at year-end, and all of it needs to land in one place.
Online gifts by card, ACH, PayPal, Venmo, Apple Pay, and Google Pay. Offline gift entry for the checks that keep arriving through December, including the ones postmarked the 31st. Pledges tracked separately from money received. And a monthly giving ask at checkout, which is how a December donor becomes next year’s sustainer.
Close the year clean
January brings receipts, acknowledgments, and a set of books to close.
Automatic tax receipts as gifts come in — the thing your donors actually need from you in January. Totals by fund, campaign, and donor. Clean exports and integrations, so the books close and the acknowledgment letters go out on time.

Common questions
When should we launch our year-end campaign?
Most organizations have their page live by early November so it’s ready for GivingTuesday and the December push. Setup takes about a day with the drag-and-drop editor, so building it in October is comfortable.
Can we run a matching challenge?
Yes. Set a custom ratio, a per-gift cap, and start and end dates, with your sponsor’s name and logo displayed. You can run more than one across the season — a GivingTuesday match and a final-week match, for example.
Can we include checks that arrive in December?
Yes. Offline gifts are logged alongside online ones so your public total reflects everything raised, including checks that arrive through the end of the month.
Do donors get tax receipts automatically?
Yes. Receipts go out automatically as gifts come in, so your donors have what they need for their filing without you assembling anything in January.
Can we ask December donors to become monthly donors?
Yes. Recurring giving is offered at checkout, which makes year-end the strongest moment of the year to convert a one-time donor into a sustainer.
Can we email our appeals from CauseVox?
Yes. Email is built in, including automations — so you can schedule a full year-end series in advance, have it send on its own, and tag donors as they respond for easy tracking. You’re sending to supporters whose giving history is already in the platform, so there’s no export to a separate tool.
What does it cost?
There’s a free plan you can start on with no credit card, and paid plans start at $100/month with no commitment. See pricing for the details.
