  Hope and Health for the Holidays - Keeping the Holidays Merry during the End of Year deadlines

  AFP Tampa Bay December 17, 2024
  

  Revitalize your end-of-year giving goals with a fresh perspective! The holiday season brings a mix of joy and challenge: balancing fundraising goals, connecting with donors, and managing personal commitments can often feel overwhelming. But what if this season, instead of stress, you could experience calm, focus, and meaningful success?

  We’ll discuss practical tools to help you manage stress, enhance productivity, and focus on what you can control to prevent burnout and stay energized through December. Discover how to bring more peace into your work and personal life, transforming what can feel like chaos into a season of fulfillment and achievement.

  Learn how to take care of your mental health during this busy holiday season with licensed clinical social worker Seth Hooper. Not only will he share practical self-care tips, but he’ll also help you learn the signals of when coworkers, employees, and even your donors might be struggling.

  Use the Form 990 to Tell Your Story

  Debra Faulk, CAP^®

  If you think the public is not reading your organization’s Form 990, think again! More donors than ever before are using Form 990 (Return of Organization Exempt From Income Tax) to inform their donation decision. Yes, CPAs prepare Form 990 because of the financial reporting requirements, but as a fundraising and program professional, are you ensuring the narrative sections communicate key “mission moments,” compelling people to give? If not, then this session is for you!
