How FundRaiser helps you take vacation

Today being the first day of summer brings to mind the smell of swimming pools and the feeling of camping out for me, good memories that I cherish. It is also vacation season for many of us. Taking a break from work is something that the founders of FundRaiser, Gene and Marcy Weinbeck, both valued highly and which is interwoven into the culture of our organization. Every month, the office is closed one day to honor a holiday. When there isn’t a ‘common’ holiday, we find one. That is not to give the impression that hard-work isn’t highly valued here, because it is. It just means that there is some wisdom woven into that work ethic that impacts what FundRaiser is more than you may realize. Just like we sometimes forget how important silence is to the overall beauty of music, time-off is sometimes seen as detracting from work, while it is in fact just the opposite.

Time off refreshes, re-energizes, and allows that willing spirit to revive. FundRaiser was created to make your work easier. We want you to work smarter and more efficiently, not longer. Everything piece of coding in FundRaiser has that aim, as does the special emphasis we give to high quality tech support and training. We make FundRaiser as intuitive as possible, but when you have trouble, please call for help. And then, in the time you save because you got some help, take a little time off

Or take a training course to get better at using FundRaiser in some way that is important to you. Then, with the time you save in knowing how to use the program better, go do something that fills you up with joy. Let us know if you do that, becuase I can guarentee you, we couldn't hear higher praise or be happier to hear that FundRaiser has hleped you enjoy your life more, not just at work but the whole big picture of your days here on earth.
