The launch of the Gathered Goods fundraising program is expected to deliver stronger margins and expand digital fundraising opportunities.
The company paid off all bank debts, which will positively impact cash flows by approximately $1 million per year.
The remaining active brand partners are more productive and engaged, indicating a stronger foundation for future growth.
