Nonprofit Sector Knowledge = Survival
 |
| Nonprofits + Economy = A long harsh winter. Or does it? |
So many nonprofits have been hit by this seemingly unending harsh economy. Reduced funding from state sources, foundations and donors comes at a time when the demand for service has risen substantially. Now is the time for nonprofits to build capacity through knowledge of their own industry. As a member of the nonprofit sector, ask yourself, how well do I understand the industry -- where it has been, what is happening now and where is it going?
How can management, board and staff be more informed? What are the emerging issues in the sector or best practices by your colleagues? Is it time to merge or return to the basics?
I have an outstanding resource for you -- Inside Philanthropy -- a blog flown under the banner of the Philanthropy Journal. Extremely well-written and timely, this blog offers both insightful articles and informative reports. It is a must-read for today's savvy nonprofits. http://philanthropyjournal.blogspot.com/
Happy and informative reading,
DCR
