What's better than a three day weekend?

A four day weekend!

The Fundriver Help Desk will be closed Friday, July 1st and Monday, July 4th in recognition of Independence Day.

Fundriver is a different kind of organization. We’re a group of real, authentic people who are here to support you. It’s probably going to sound cliché (oh, how 2021) but we meet each client, prospect, and team member where they are. 

Recently, I had to shop for a few new software tools (read tips for bringing on a new software) and the first thing I wanted to know was, how could I get help when I need it? Because few things are more frustrating than working on a project and having it come to a screeching halt as you wait days for support – if you ever hear back from them at all. That is not how we roll. 

May is National Mental Health Month and as the Great Resignation continues with more and more Americans transitioning out of unsatisfying work situations, we couldn’t help but think about how important a healthy work environment is to overall mental wellness.

Just this week, we had a company-wide training about meetings. From the research we’ve done, meetings are a source of frustration for most of the population. As a matter of fact, in just the last 20 short months, the number of meetings in the general world of business increased by nearly 70 percent. Who's got time for that? Not us, that’s for sure! Did you know, on average, meetings cost about $50 per hour per person? That adds up to an estimated $37 billion lost each year as a result of unproductive meetings. 

Are you in the same boat, meeting-wise? Read on to see how we’re planning to spend less time around the virtual conference table and instead, make the meetings we do have more effective and productive.

At Fundriver, everything we do is designed to help our non-profit clients steward their funds accurately and efficiently.  Our creative software solutions bridge finance and fundraising seamlessly. 

So, how do we do it?  

We have a few tricks up our sleeves...

As I try to explain to my friends and family why I love working for Fundriver, the phrase that seems to best capture my sentiment is this: “I am able to be my authentic self.”
