Taking a break from work gives your brain the chance to reset and recharge, and this is essential to avoiding burnout and staying productive all year long.

And I’m not talking about specific donor, I’m talking about in terms of your work calendar. Jimmie Alford, one of the great fundraisers in America, told me a story a few years ago, which was about this volunteer who had to raise money for mental health in a community.

Well, your database, I’ve said this, your database is like your brain, right? Like your fundraising brain. And appeals can be very specific things like your fall appeal, your calendar year-end appeal. You may want to know things like their volunteer interest, their history. Why do we need it? Hey, grants.
