2019 Annual Benefit Report

NetRaising had a challenging year in 2019. Due to the unavoidable departure of a handful of large clients the previous year, we had to make some difficult decisions and changes in early 2019. The largest and most notable change was to sell our office building in Portland, Oregon, and transition to a remote working environment. All employees retained their full-time employment and the losses in revenue were absorbed by the company’s founder. Our existing clients truly value our work and they contributed 87% of the year’s revenue, keeping us financially stable during a tough time. There were no changes in personnel and the business continues to be both socially and financially profitable. We are looking forward to a more fruitful 2020!
