I feel like the theme of most of my posts over the last several months is this is more important than ever. This could be a tough fundraising season, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t do a campaign this fall. Something that should help is having a thank you plan. Thanking donors often takes a back seat to fundraising when you should spend equal time doing both.

But wherever you are right now, it’s important to take a step back and look at how you are taking care of yourself. As I was recently reminded: If we can’t take care of ourselves, we won’t be able to take care of others. Sara Fabian, The Ultimate Reason Why Self-Care Is Not Selfish.

Static budgets, rigid annual forecasts, and outdated financial models limit an organization’s ability to adapt to market shifts and economic uncertainty. To stay ahead, finance leaders must leverage a future-forward approach—one that leverages real-time data, predictive analytics, and continuous planning to drive smarter financial decisions.
