Dear Friends, Looking back on 2013, it has been an exceptional year full of philanthropy and fun. Thank you for letting us play a role in your charitable mission and entrusting donors to us as we whisk them off to exotic places around the globe. In the past year we have had some phenomenal new developments here at Winspire. With an updated website that is interactive and user friendly, new once-in-a-lifetime Experiences to offer your event attendees and more trips fulfilled than ever before, we have worked hard to improve our products and services for our Nonprofit customers and winning bidders alike. As we transition to the new year, we have much to look forward to. The world of event fundraising is evolving rapidly, with new tools and strategies we hear about almost every day. Nonprofits across North America are realizing that the “same-old, same-old” just isn’t going to cut it any longer. That’s why in 2014, we are strengthening our commitment to become a valuable information resource for fundraising professionals in charge of organizing charity events. With over 17 years of experience working with Development Directors, Event Chairs, Board Members and Volunteers from Nonprofits across the country, we understand the challenges you face. The recent launch of Winspire News has given us a new voice and outlet for offering insightful tips and useful information on everything from organizing flawless fundraising events to building meaningful relationships with donors. Below you will find some of the latest and most popular articles from the blog so far. If you have any feedback or suggestions for future topics, please let us know! From our Winspire family to yours, we look forward to working with you in 2014. Here’s to wishing you every happiness this holiday season and throughout the coming year. Sincerely, Jeff Cova |
