Descriptions
Most nonprofit organizations that were reasonably healthy before COVID-19 will manage to get through the end of this calendar year. A combination of fundraising, government loans, budget reallocations, furloughs, and luck will take us to Dec. 31, 2020. Come Jan. 1, 2021, everyone will still be in business. But that same combination of things will not be sufficient to get everyone through the next year, let alone the next five years. So how can organizations start now to think differently about how they allocate their time, and how to plan for the income needed to do their work?
Things are not going to return to normal—nor should they. Normal was not working for most people, and a new normal is in danger of being a mutation of the old normal. Something else entirely is needed and those in charge of bringing in the money must provide the leadership needed to help organizations “be the change we wish to see.”
In this workshop, Kim will discuss ways in which nonprofits must think bigger, move into more advocacy, collaborate with others, and ramp up community organizing in order to create an environment in which nonprofits can survive and thrive. Specifically, Kim will look at the role of development in creating positive change. This workshop is geared to staff and board members whose primary role is fundraising.
