3 ways fundraisers can tackle spring cleaning

During the first months of the year, you may be so busy catching up from the year-end fundraising season that it’s practically spring before you come up for air. When you do, it’s crucial to take some time to evaluate how things are going. Consider where you can make improvements, and even tackle some good old spring cleaning—not just of your physical workspace, but also of how you’re allocating your time.

Not sure how to get started?

Here are 3 spring cleaning suggestions for fundraisers:
