COVID-19’s impact on nonprofits’ revenues, digitization and mergers
|
|
The impact of COVID-19 on life around the globe is extraordinary, and nonprofits are no exception to the disruption. In a recent survey by LaPiana Consulting, 73 percent of the organizations reported a drop in revenue. That may be an unsurprising consequence of the COVID-19 crisis, but the scope of it is nonetheless shocking.
However, the survey’s results weren't entirely bad: 26 percent of social service organizations reported revenue increases during this period, possibly reflecting rising demand and timely governmental or philanthropic response. One respondent described the funding outlook in these terms: “It’s really rough. It’s scary. We don’t know if we’ll survive through the shutdown and even if we do, we don’t have high hopes that the economy will return to normal any time soon, so revenue will continue to be difficult to raise or secure.”
Using interactive charts, it provides a snapshot of the digital transformation of nonprofits and their perspectives on mergers.

In today’s environment is strategic planning still valid?
|
|
By Jan Breiner Frazer, managing member, Planningplus, LLC
In this country, we have experienced a number of events during the last two decades that resulted in immediate impact on business and industry, beginning with 9/11, followed by the 2008 recession and the far-reaching Affordable Care Act.
But in those cases, we could somewhat foresee the horizon and plan accordingly – we had end goals in sight. But in this world of the global pandemic with various levels of quarantine, shifting guidelines and re-opening dates, and bombardment of news (often conflicting), we are not sure we can even plan on next month.
While strategic planning is still valid, it is not as we’ve always known it. Planning Plus’ expertise has long been in designing and facilitating strategic planning, generally for three-year periods. However, we are revising our methodology during this extraordinary time to remain flexible and adaptable.
