congratulations on making it to december and another festive season! 

thank you for your incredible work for social and environmental change this year. 

if you feel like you’re hitting a wall, you are not alone. the world is such a challenging place right now. which is why it’s so important to recharge your energy during the break. as a social change leader, it also sets a healthy example to your staff and volunteers.

as the saying goes, we cannot help others if we haven’t first taken care of ourselves. and the world really needs you shipshape for social change in 2025!

once you feel replenished, use the quiet time for reflection—a chance to chart a path toward greater impact and financial sustainability. and to ask yourself some of the big questions.

are you clear about your strategy? 

why should funders invest in your mission?

what’s getting in the way? a disengaged board? no plan to find money? scraping by without the right skills and resources?

a good way to do this is our FREE and confidential nonprofit health check. kick the tyres. where can you improve?

the last thing you want is the stress of starting 2025 back in the trenches.

thank you once again for your unwavering commitment to making the world a better place. i hope you have a safe and enjoyable break with friends and family.
