More donors than ever before are using Form 990 (Return of Organization Exempt From Income Tax) to inform their donation decision.

If not, then this session is for you!

In fact, 69% of employees say they’re more likely to stay with a company when they receive an effective onboarding process. So, it goes without saying that a 90 day plan is essential to keeping a long-term team member, particularly if your organization is functioning as in-person, virtual or a hybrid world.
