Readying Your Nonprofit for Recovery - Strategies and Steps for Renewal
Thursday, December 9th, 2009 at 2PM ET
As the economy flirts with recovery, nonprofits (large and small) cope with a variety of challenges. Some commentators suggest the sector was longer to feel the effects of recession and will be longer to recover. This session proposes practical steps for the coming year to find the right size, financing, and direction. Expert presenters will focus on how nonprofits can consider new structures to reduce waste and duplication as well as protect assets and revenue streams, proactively engage others (even “competitors”) in collaboration to reduce cost and improve services, study mission direction in light of new realities, identify new or creative funding sources, anticipate regulatory developments, and other actions. Our goal is to help nonprofit organizations grow towards the future – renewed.
