A few years ago, DonationScout set out to streamline restaurant fundraisers even more with a new ePayments system. We aimed to simplify the payment process with seamless online transactions. However, we discovered that while restaurants wanted online payments, fundraiser organizations preferred traditional checks, despite initially expressing a preference for electronic donations. This aligns with Henry Ford's insight: "If I would have asked people what they wanted, they would have said a faster horse." Often, consumers don’t know what they truly need. This led us to pivot. DonationScout is now acts as an intermediary, allowing restaurants to process payments online, while ensuring fundraiser organizations received physical checks. This experience highlights the importance of iteration in product development. At DonationScout, we embrace challenges as opportunities to innovate and better serve our partners in the community fundraising landscape.

1) Don't wait until the new year to start on your resolutions. If you started your estate plan, finish it! If you haven't started at all, start it (but don't call me in the 11th hour to finish it...please :) ). 2) Don't be a Scrooge, gift! Year-end is also a great time to make gifts to your favorite charities and family members (Take note, Maloney family)! 3) Don't forget to follow this podcast! We try to make estate planning accessible and interesting. We even make up punny episode titles (shout out to Mallory for this one)! #estateplanning #yearendplanning #yearendgiving #lawfirm

Please consider donating to the Page Education Foundation or learning about us. A little background: The Page Education Foundation's goal is to encourage, motivate, and assist Minnesota's students of color in the pursuit of post-secondary education, and, in the process, change the future. What's unique about the Page Education Foundation: Page Scholars, return to their communities (all over the state of MN) to serve as mentors and role models for elementary and high school students. They also have opportunities to be mentored themselves. Our ROI is over 500%: For every $1 spent on Page Scholars, there is a projected $5.52 in social value created through increased earnings and improved health for Page Scholars and children served, increased classroom support, and reduced onboarding cost and increased productivity for our Accelerate corporate partners. (From an Ecotone Analytics GBC study.) Why now: Minnesota's educational disparities across race, ethnicity and socioeconomic status continue and not just in the Twin Cities metro are, but across the state. (From a Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis study.) Feel free to reach out to me with any questions. And thanks for reading to this point.
