Which part of your event raises the most money?

The CEOs of nonprofit agencies have always faced challenges that are uniquely theirs.

A Former Disney Employee Tells This Story

Yeweinisht Mesfin went missing in November 2016. Her fellow Disneyland employees found her in her car in a gym parking lot. She lived in her car and that gym parking lot was her home.

Dear Client,

Global Vision Technologies (GVT) will be conducting an update to Visions Server - the platform behind the FAMCare and/or ClinicalPURSUIT systems on Tuesday, March 20, 2018 - between the hours of 6pm and 3am EDT.

It’s something most of us don’t think about – until it doesn’t work. The software that powers government entities has far reaching implications and potential consequences for the individuals and families living in the impacted communities.

I guess it’s not surprising that, now and then, we should talk about technology and its contribution to the nonprofit universe. After all, Global Vision Technologies has been an integral part of the digital transformation of the case management function, and when this item recently caught our eye we wanted to dig a little more deeply into the impact recent improvements in technology had on the finance function.
