Recession, inflation, artificial intelligence, political instability, natural disasters, war … you name it and this last year had it. The core sectors that we serve have been rocked by both declining donations and increasing need, and I’m still not certain if the tide is still going out or if it’s slowly starting to come back in. In a nutshell, it’s been challenging.
And yet the inspiring human ability to persevere in difficult times has also been on full display. Our clients have continued to step up to the plate, ready to roll up their sleeves and help others in whatever ways they can.
We’ve had the privilege of supporting some truly inspiring initiatives over the past year and we’re eager to embark on new projects as we sail ahead to achieving even greater things together! Thank you for being an essential part of our story.
