Why hiring a consultant helped me succeed and keep my sanity
When I started in my new role as a Development Director for a local Denver non-profit I was...
There goes another year! While 2022 wasn’t quite 2020 Part II, it was a roller coaster of a year. First, we saw the Covid Pandemic wane and then shoot back up again with Delta and now other variants. Second, there was economic uncertainty, are we in a “richcession,” bear market, or just tough economic times?
There is a bright spot, philanthropy. Giving Tuesday was a massive success, breaking records and proving there are people who want to contribute to helping others. In fact, reports point to giving in 2022 as one of the most robust and resilient, considering it was a year of war, pandemic, and all sorts of up and downs.
As for MPW's take on giving, we carefully looked at our client's experiences and matched them to what leading foundations, companies, and associations are saying about 2023.
