“Real progress happens when organizations listen, innovate, and act together.” – Colonel (Ret.) Sam Whitehurst, Vice President, Programs & Services Recently, Dixon Center for Military
At Dixon Center for Military and Veterans Services, today is just as significant as yesterday – Veterans Day. Thank you to all of you who heeded our Veterans Day call to reach beyond “thank you for your service.” We encourage you to continue to take action to show your gratitude to those who have served year-round.
We have entered into our most critical time of the year. Historically, Dixon Center receives 35% of its total annual revenue from Veterans Day to December 31st.
Here is what we are working on now to ensure we meet our end-of-year giving goals:

Leverage Giving Tuesday. Mark your calendar for December 3rd

Direct solicitations to 20 major donors
