Our very own, Theresa Shubeck, had the pleasure of attending Reeves-Reed Arboretum's groundbreaking ceremony for "A Path for All." This milestone marks the start of the project which will ensure the Arboretum's gardens are accessible and welcoming for every visitor. It was a beautiful day to celebrate, and we can't wait to stroll the completed path.

๐ฏ Year-End Best Practices for Nonprofits
As the year winds down, it's the perfect time to strengthen relationships and nurture connections that will set your organization up for success in the new year. Here are a few steps you can start now:
Prepare Year-End Tax Receipts: Get ahead by reviewing your records and report criteria, and ensure receipts are ready to send out in January.
Connect with Your Contributors: Don't wait until December. Start scheduling calls and meetings now to thank them, share impact stories, and strengthen relations before the holiday.
Show Gratitude to Volunteers: A heartfelt thank you goes a long way. Consider sending handwritten notes or hosting a small appreciation event.
Clear the Clutter: Now's the time to review, organize, and close out what's lingering on the corner of your desk.
โPhilanthropy is not about the ask - it's about the relationship." - POP Workshop
The heart of philanthropy lies in the connections we build. Strong relationships with colleagues, contributors, and the community enable us to share ideas, inspire action, and achieve a greater impact together.
By investing in people first, we create lasting change that touches lives every day. Every relationship matters in advancing our missions. Each conversation and collaboration moves us closer to our goals.
