You the People
This is our third election cycle since starting the business in 2011 and every time we see the same thing. People start to hold onto their money and giving seems to go down in the lead up to November. Not all of our clients, but many saw a decline in giving in the months leading up to the election, especially on the lower levels of giving.
It resonates with me that no matter what happens in elections and in government, the fact remains that there is need, and that need is met by the people – the people being the ones who run the nonprofits, drive the nonprofits, fund the nonprofits.
We get to work with incredible organizations whose focus lies solely on those whom they serve, no matter what is happening in the world around them. The intent is the fulfillment of the Mission. Whether it be funding research to cure Childhood cancer, finding families for the parentless, giving second chances, feeding the hungry, caring for the sick and suffering, saving lives, creating education opportunities, providing opportunities for people to realize their value and worth – our clients live their mission and the donors fund that mission.
So here’s to You the People.
You the people who give of yourselves daily to change, impact and save lives.
You the people who put together the events to bring people together to fund the Mission.
You the People who raise their bidder numbers.
You the people who fund the programming, the scholarships, the research, the fulfilment of the need.
You the people who volunteer your time.
YOU THE PEOPLE.
