1. Annual Report
2016

2. A Note from Our Executive Director
A bright new year lies ahead of us and brings with it endless opportunities to continue TisBest’s mission to promote more gifts of good and fewer gifts of stuff.
Never before has TisBest been as well-positioned to help charities all over the world through philanthropic gift giving. Over the past year our skilled team has
been able to add more vetted charities to our platform, better engage with our community through social media, and implement a Corporate Giving
Recognition program.
We are constantly working to improve the TisBest Philanthropy customer experience and accomplished our goal of redesigning the TisBest homepage with
ease-of-use in mind. We have also worked to streamline our customer service operations and have launched a monthly newsletter to stay in touch with our
community.
These new initiatives will continue to gain momentum in 2017 and beyond. With the support of our amazing team, our engaged Board of Directors, our Charity
Partners, and our customers, 2017 will be a year of growth, and I’m very excited to see how far we will go.
With gratitude,
Jeremy Holmes
Executive Director
