2018 Annual Benefit Report

NetRaising supported approximately 190 websites for nonprofits and schools during 2018. There were no changes in personnel and the business continues to be both socially and financially profitable. A handful of NetRaising’s multi-year clients canceled support agreements due to circumstances unrelated to NetRaising’s services. One dissolved, one suffered an extreme budget shortfall, two in-sourced website development and another was absorbed by its national organization. This included NetRaising’s largest client of 12 years and we anticipate these changes may pose challenges for NetRaising’s financial position in 2019.
