Giving Tuesday 2025: Top Tips From Your AI Teammates, Maggie & Grant

Make this your easiest and most impactful Giving Tuesday yet.

Giving Tuesday is one of the biggest days of the year for nonprofits. It’s exciting, inspiring… and let’s be honest, a little overwhelming. You’re juggling fundraising, social media, donor outreach, year-end reporting, programming, and everything else that keeps your organization running day to day.

That’s exactly why we built Vee.

To give you the teammates you wish you had, without adding to your staff.

This year, Maggie (your AI social media teammate) and Grant (your AI grant-writing and funding teammate) teamed up to share their smartest, simplest tips to help you raise more, stress less, and stay focused on your mission.

Let’s dive in.

Tips From Maggie: Your Social Media Teammate

1. Show real people — not just polished graphics

   1. Authenticity wins on Giving Tuesday. Quick selfie videos, staff moments, volunteer clips, behind-the-scenes snippets — these humanize your mission and help donors feel connected.

   2. Maggie says: “People want to see your faces. Your passion. Your mission in action.”

2. Repeat your message more than you think

   1. The feed moves fast, especially on Giving Tuesday. Don’t worry about posting “too much.”

Try:

• Morning announcement

• Afternoon reminder

• Evening “last chance” post

• Stories throughout the day

• Pinned Giving Tuesday post

  • Repetition = visibility.

3. Make donating incredibly easy

   1. Remove every barrier.

      1. Make sure each post includes a: ✔ Direct donation link ✔ QR code ✔ or “Donate” button

      2. No extra clicks. No confusion.

4. Pre-schedule everything

   1. The last thing you want is to be stuck behind a computer all day. Let Maggie schedule your content in advance so you can focus on what truly matters: thanking donors and sharing impact.

Tips From Grant: Your Funding Teammate

1. Apply for micro-grants and fast approvals

   1. These are often easier to win and perfect for Giving Tuesday momentum.

Great places to look:

• Community foundations

• Corporate employee giving programs

• Local businesses

• Small private foundations

Small dollars add up fast.

2. Turn your Giving Tuesday story into a year-end narrative

Grant can help you turn your campaign message into a powerful story funders love.

Example: “Help us close the year strong and reach X impact goal before December 31.”

A clear, compelling narrative leads to stronger applications.

3. Reuse your Giving Tuesday content inside your grants

All those emotional posts and videos? Grant can convert them into:

• Need statements

• Impact paragraphs

• Program descriptions

This saves you hours of writing.

4. Submit early whenever possible

Many funders close out applications shortly after Giving Tuesday. Submitting early makes you stand out and reduces stress at the busiest time of year.

The Power Duo: Maggie + Grant Working Together

Giving Tuesday isn’t just one day, it’s momentum.

With Maggie promoting your story and Grant turning that story into funding opportunities, you’re doubling your visibility and your chances of securing donations and grants.

It’s like having a social media manager and a grant writer working in the background while you focus on your mission.

Final Thought: You don’t need to do this alone

Giving Tuesday should be a day of impact, not overwhelm.

Maggie and Grant are here to help you: 

✔ Raise more 

✔ Save time

✔ Tell your story 

✔ Find funding 

✔ And stay focused on the people who depend on you

This year, let your Vee teammates handle the busy work so you can change the world.
