Happy Tuesday everyone! I hope this week has been treating you kindly. It’s another travel week for me— I’ll be flying out of Lake Tahoe on Thursday! I’ve relished my time here with family and some top notch views, but I’m ready to get back to my home base, Washington, DC. I’ve got some fun celebratory actives planned for this weekend, and I hope good things await you all as well.

In this week’s newsletter, dig into some great information on nonprofit event management Learn some corporate partner strategies that hold up during a pandemic. Or determine if you are a “farmer” or a “magician” when it comes to fundraising. Enjoy!

It's incredible, but it’s true: today is the one year anniversary of the Fundraising Weekly! When I started this newsletter, I heard from fundraisers around the globe, all trying hard to stay afloat during an unprecedented global pandemic. It made sense to consolidate all the best practices I learned, all the great ideas to pivot fundraising events, and share them with the community.

A year later, and with an incredible and growing community of fundraising beginners and experts, I'm continually impressed with our community's ingenuity and creativity. It's been a pleasure to highlight the great work of fantastic fundraising professionals, consultants, and leaders, and I'm rolling up my sleeves for another great year knowledge sharing ahead of us.

Thank you for the opportunity to hop into your inbox every week. If there's anything I can do to make this newsletter more useful and impactful, just hit the Reply button and holler. Congratulations on joining me for this journey, let's keep up the good work!

Here in the DC office, there have been hints of holiday music playing throughout the day. Though I initially struggled not to role my eyes (Christmas in July? Is this really necessary?), it did get me thinking about how this is usually around the time nonprofits start planning their big year-end fundraising campaigns. Maybe one or two songs isn’t such a bad idea to get into the season mindset. Thoughts to ponder!

This week, learn how to boost your volunteer retention, check out this fundraising summer reading list, or learn about the role of emojis in donor marketing! It’s great to see how the fundraising pros are keeping content fresh and relevant. Enjoy!
