Happy Birthday! On March 1st of this year, Health Giving will celebrate 13 years of success. This milestone celebrates our incredible healthcare clients, our dedicated consulting teams, and everyone who has championed our journey over the last thirteen years! Thank you for being part of this success! Throughout our journey as an organization and consulting team, we've navigated the ebb and flow of growth and contraction. Each phase has taught us invaluable lessons and shaped who we are today. During this time, we've proudly helped our clients achieve remarkable successes in healthcare philanthropy, and our positive impact in the industry has grown tremendously. It is truly exciting to reflect on how this company has evolved and improved over the past thirteen years, and we are eager for the many opportunities that lie ahead. While our consulting business may be small, the impact of our healthcare philanthropy clients is anything but! Their strength and dedication drive meaningful change in American healthcare, and we’re proud to support their powerful missions. Here’s to you and us—a toast to all professional fundraisers working hard to make the world a better, healthier place! Thanks for being the best. Onward and upward!”

– Happy New Year! Successful major gift officers recognize the importance of prospect management planning and use New Year's resolutions as a powerful organizational tool. At the start of each new year, they reflect on their prospect management strategies and future plans, setting specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound objectives for the year, quarter, and month ahead. This helps them maintain focus and motivation toward their fundraising goals.
