Since August, the Fundraising Committee has been running a fundraising test each Thursday afternoon for one hour. These tests are helping us to get all of our systems in order before the hectic fundraiser starts. But most importantly, they are showing us which messages will best motivate donors this year.

If you have any ideas, please propose banners to include in the next test on the Messages page.

You can see the winning banners below from our tests. The percentages indicate the share of people who clicked on each banner. (In each test, equal number of people were exposed to each banner.)

Check out the Fundraising Updates page where we discuss what we've learned so far and upcoming tests and challenges.
