The Buzz: We Made It Edition

Ray Bergman

Hello Community!


Welcome to today's edition of THE BUZZ.


In this week's edition, you'll find:

• News In The Community
• Upcoming Events
• COVID relief and how it can affect your organization
• And more!

 This is it.  We made it.  The finish line is in sight.  And while not much can or will immediately change as the calendar rolls over to January 1, we can say that we toughed it out and completed this unprecedented year (By the way, "unprecedented" is my nomination for word that we need to retire).


Congratulations! We did it!


We'd love to know what you're resolving to do or improve in your life for 2021.  Please comment below with your resolutions.


Now, on to The Buzz...



Recently, Blackbaud's Sally Ehrenfield discussed December 2020 COVID Relief and how the latest COVID Relief Legislation could provide relief to social good organizations.  Read the full perspective here:

If you're looking for perspective from other non-profit folks regarding COVID, relief, and how others are adapting, please be sure to visit our COVID community as well; https://community.blackbaud.com/covid19



Now that our Points-A-Palooza finished its spectacular run in December, you may be wondering just how you can accumulate more points towards leveling up in Community.  Well wonder no more; here's our exclusive points values for tasks completed.
