Being in Southwest Florida, many of our donors are snowbirds, and now we can see articles published back in their hometowns—things we wouldn’t have known about before. It’s been a game changer for staying informed and engaged with our donors."
— Kelly Colligan, Foundation Operations Manager, Avow Foundation

— Sharon Parkinson, Vassar College
