“The end of the year is a powerful time for nonprofits, a time of tremendous energy and momentum. Nonprofit professionals understand and appreciate the potential for their organizations in year-end giving,” says Jeffrey Byrne, President + Founder of Jeffrey Byrne + Associates, Inc. “#GivingTuesday harnesses the power of this time of year, by inspiring people to take collaborative action and give back. #GivingTuesday also reminds us of the true spirit of the holiday season: community. One of the most powerful gifts we can give our loved ones is our promise to work together to help create a better world…for everyone.”
Jeffrey Byrne + Associates, Inc., is a proud endorser of #GivingTuesday, joining fellow members of the Giving Institute, and encourages EVERYONE to participate.
