As we begin a new year, I’m filled with gratitude and optimism — thanks to you. Your generosity makes every NCRF program possible, and this newsletter is a wonderful snapshot of what your support is accomplishing right now.
You’ll notice a new name — NCRF Voices of Giving — our refreshed take on the former Angels Quarterly. We treasure our Angel donors and every supporter who lifts our mission, so we’ve expanded the name to reflect the many voices making a powerful difference.
Though winter is upon us, learning about the Foundation’s work keeps us warm with hope and pride. From our Ask Me Anything ZoomUps and student scholarships to legacy giving, conference support, and new initiatives for emerging professionals, your donor dollars are opening doors, building careers, and strengthening our entire community.
I invite you to explore these updates in our first quarter newsletter. Celebrate what we’ve achieved together and feel proud of the meaningful impact you continue to make. Thank you for being an essential part of NCRF’s mission and for helping us start the year hopeful, energized, and inspired.
By Doug Friend, FAPR, RDR, CRR (Ret.)
