Being innovative, solving hard problems, and doing things that have not been done before takes continued effort and over time can lead to exhaustion. 

SmartSimple acknowledges this and has invested heavily in the health and well-being of all employees. Key initiatives include reduced summer hours, ‘get outdoors’ hours, mental health huddles, and most recently, Global Recharge Weeks, where all SmartSimple employees receive paid time off.

The results from last year's Global Recharge Weeks were very positive. Our employees returned feeling refreshed and we saw the benefits of it upon their return. 

As we wrap up the month of May, it's hard to believe that we're nearly at the halfway mark of 2022. We're preparing for a very busy summer with conferences to attend along with a major announcement that we'll be sharing soon. There's a lot to cover, so let's get you caught up!

Imagine two grantmaking organizations, A and B. They each need to buy software to manage their contact relationships, operations, and finances, but they go about it very differently. Grantmaker A buys a technology suite from a single vendor, and uses it for everything. Grantmaker B, on the other hand, buys a specific solution for each function from different vendors, and then integrates them all.

April showers bring May flowers! As we shake off the doldrums of winter, we're excited to share updates on a number of things that we're working on. First, we're happy to announce two new webinars we'll be hosting next month, along with a sponsorship for a conference that we'll be exhibiting at. We're also excited to announce another new addition to the SmartSimple Marketplace along with a number of new faces officially joining our team.

March was a busy month of firsts. The first signs of spring, our first major conference of the season, the opening of our brand new US office, and a new integration added to our Marketplace. Yet with all of that, we still prioritized the importance of celebrating International Women's Day.

If March came in like a lamb, it certainly went out like a lion.
