What a year it has been! Our goal was to deliver useful content for Nonprofit fundraising professionals who want to get the most out of their charity auction events… and we did just that.

We are thrilled that Winspire News has blossomed into a valuable resource with a thriving subscriber base that continues to grow every day. We have BIG PLANS for 2015 – with more templates, eBooks and webinars designed to help you raise more money at your upcoming events – so stay tuned!

To wrap things up for this year, I thought I’d list some of our most popular content from 2014. Below are the top 5 most popular articles that generated the most traffic to Winspire News. 

Enjoy and Happy New Year!
