While all businesses have been affected by the economic downturn caused by COVID-19, the nonprofits in our state are especially vulnerable as state and local budget contributes are cut and charitable giving decreases. But many of these organizations are also crucial in supporting our community through the provision of food and shelter, mental health resources, childcare, and more.
Join us to hear how some local nonprofits are managing funding deficits, how they have pivoted to meet changing needs in the community, and what they need to ensure a successful recovery.
