The Buzz: January 4, 2023

Happy Wednesday, Community!

Let’s start 2023 off on the right foot by asking “What are Your Goals for 2023?” Studies show that you are more likely to achieve your goals if you write them down, so let’s set ourselves up for success right from the start. We’d love to see your answers, and perhaps you can even find someone with a similar goal who can act as a peer support here in Community for you as you work toward that goal this year!



LISTEN UP!

Blackbaud’s Sarah Curry sits down with Alex Wilson, the Co-Founder of The Giving Block to discuss why the conversation around cryptocurrency matters for nonprofit finance teams. LISTEN HERE.
