We want to wish all of you successful Giving Tuesday campaign planning, as we know the importance of fundraising to benefit your school community.
A good strategy to help you raise visibility for your Giving Tuesday campaign is to make it easier for people to donate by giving them several ways to do so, such as online donations, text-to-donate, and standard mail-in donations. You can also make it easier for supporters to give by adding a Giving Tuesday payment page to your school’s website.
We’re sharing a link out to our latest e-book, “Giving Tuesday 101: Maximize Donations Using These 12 Strategies” in the Additional Resources section below.
Please read on for important feature updates for this month.
Important Feature Updates
New TADS Forms Module Now Available
In case you missed it, last month we launched our TADS Forms Module for all TADS users! Schools now have the ability to send ad hoc and one-off forms from within our solution! Included with the TADS Suite, this module allows schools to create customizable, online forms that can be sent to engage families in ways that best suit the school’s needs. If you'd like to start benefiting from this new feature, please contact your TADS Implementation Specialist (or email us) to) to enable your Forms Module.

Are You Ready to Open Your TADS Modules for the 2025-2026 School Year?
Each year, TADS will roll your school's settings forward from the previous year. This provides you with the opportunity to review your settings and request any changes before next year's processes are made available to our families. Visit this TADS article for more information: Annual Rollover Process
The VenturEd Solutions office will be closed on Thursday, November 28 and Friday, November 29 in observance of Thanksgiving.
We will also be closed from Monday, December 23 through Friday, December 27 for the holidays.
