Current giving communication pattern \* **Campaign-only**We talk about giving during year-end and maybe one or two other pushes per year. **Reactive**We communicate about giving when the budget is tight or giving is down. **Occasional and inconsistent**We try to communicate regularly but don't have a documented system. **Structured but incomplete**We have some systems in place but significant gaps. **Year-round and intentional**We have a documented, consistent approach across the full year.
