‘Tis the season for mile-long to-do lists and big goals, which can also cause stress. To reduce your year-end fundraising stress, put your technology to work. With the help of the right tool, tasks that were once extremely time-consuming can now be completed in a fraction of the time or even automatically completed on your behalf in minutes. Of course, the technology you’ve chosen to support your team matters. So do take note if your technology meets your needs during this time. Or maybe it’s time for a change.
We asked the nonprofit community to share your most time-consuming tasks and, in turn, causing you the most stress right now. With this research and unearthed insights, we put together a live webinar presented by Denise Rogers, a Giveffect Nonprofit Solutions Consultant with over 20 years of nonprofit experience, to help nonprofits now.
