## Tactics
- Matching all gifts up to $150,000 with Friends of Tor matching pool
* Match successfully raised from x major donors
* Match reached on x
- Rolling out new swag while standardizing our hoodie options (ultimately reducing wasted $$ on dead stock)
- Offering a limited-edition gift (surprise for now!)
- Offering a limited-edition gift, the DEF CON badge
* Less popular than expected
- Offering first opportunities to get special gifts to repeat donors
* This was not effective motivator--either the gift wasn't right, or the messaging isn't right.
- Offering pay-what-you-want (or can) digital gifts
- Giving all new monthly donors a limited edition 'privacy is a human right' sticker
- ~~Holding a special hoodie grab bag donation gift for a limited time~~
* We had to cancel the hoodie campaign for capacity reasons.
-
- Sending tailored messaging to specific groups who may not hear from us otherwise (e.g., postal mail campaign for our mail-based friends, 1:1 direct email from people who are donors but have unsubscribed from mass email)
- Leveraging State of the Onion and (hopefully) a 6th PrivChat event

## What's new in 2021?
- [Following our advice to ourselves from 2020](https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/operations/team/-/wikis/FundraisingTeam/Campaigns/2020#areas-for-improvement), we are working on a better way to track what links people are clicking over time, with the goal of being more responsive to what is working and what isn't.
- We wanted to have a new donate.torproject.org experience by the time the 2021 year-end campaign launched, but found that simply wouldn't be possible given the team's capacity and the onboarding of our new CiviCRM contractors. Lots of work has gone into this re-imagining already, and we _will_ have a new experience for the 2022 year-end campaign. You can track this work here: <https://gitlab.torproject.org/groups/tpo/-/milestones/22>
