Welcome to our new episode this month! Today my goal is to introduce to you a helpful tool with a great number of features to assist in raising much needed funds during this pandemic via virtual fundraising, and for that, guess what, I have a surprise for you! I have another guest with me today and we will be talking about this tool that any organization that is looking to fundraise and raise much needed funds needs to know about. This episode is very much targeted towards the nonprofit sector more so than our general thematic episodes where we talk about event and audio-visual productions, but even so and even if this is not necessarily your interest point, I believe there will be a lot of opportunities to learn about something that normally is not part of your repertoire, if you may, so tag along and maybe learn a thing or two, and in the wise words of Jack Lewmann, “Never stop learning, for when we stop learning, we stop growing”.
