- How might we continue to make an impact with smaller budgets?
- How do we manage giving percentages with significant variability and fluxuation of annual revenue?
- How are you handling employee giving and matching gifts?
- How should we best manage scholarship programs?
- How best can we offer aid and relief amidst natural disasters and geopolitical conflicts?
