With Thanksgiving just days away and Christmas hot on its heels, the timing’s perfect for this simple but effective quick tip: Embrace the seasons.

For fundraising inspiration, consider the four seasons (Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter, not the 60’s-era pop ) and consider what each represent and what people most look forward to about them.

Since we’re here in Fall, let’s run with that:

…A chill in the air…Mmmm, comfort food…Family Thanksgiving get-togethers…Parties with friends…YEAAAH, SUPERBOWL! (Is it just us or can you totally smell the freshly-baked cookies now?)

Cookie dough can be a welcome, savvy offering for Fall fundraising because of its practicality at this time of year — and c’mon, who doesn’t love having fresh baked cookies in the house? Along this same train of thought, nuts, chocolate and other food-related ideas could also be just the ticket.

Enjoy the Fall (and all that turkey), everybody!
