The Best Nonprofit Resources for the COVID-19 Crisis
One of the best resources for US nonprofits is the Council of Nonprofits. This organization lists the most up to date information regarding COVID-19 related resources and funding options. These are their key links to help with all aspects of the COVID-19 Crisis.
While there are several other nonprofit sites out there, the Council of Nonprofits has assimilated all the most relevant information.
What are some of the key things out there to help your organization now?
SeaChange, a forward-thinking nonprofit, offers some excellent advice about taking stock of your nonprofit in these times.
Refocus on your Mission. Make sure that you are in alignment with your mission and figure out how it can be relevant specifically to the pandemic, if at all possible. This can draw attention to your cause and raise awareness, which can lead to increased donations.
Realize how you and your team react to COVID-19. Are you a hibernator, a responder, or a hybrid?
A hibernator is literally an organization that is not operating during the crisis and essentially hoping it will all blow over.
A responder is a nonprofit organization that has been actively involved in the COVID-19 crisis, most like because of community need. While they might not know where the funding is coming from, they are on the front lines.
A hybrid is a nonprofit that might still have some resources that will be helpful once the initial part of the crisis has passed, such as retraining homeless veterans for the workforce.
Realizing where your organization falls in this categorization can help you clearly define your organization's financial needs.
Reduce your cash output by reviewing your expenses, delaying payments as much as possible, and exploring new fundraising opportunities.
