A lot has changed for nonprofits. You’re facing new challenges that you likely never dreamed of encountering. What do you when your major fundraising event is cancelled? How can you communicate with your donors? How do you take care of your staff and volunteers?
It’s easy to become overwhelmed in the face of these questions.
To help, we curated a list of 37 different resources, broken into 8 different categories, that we feel are the most important for nonprofits right now. We’ve also included links to resources from the official nonprofit association in each state.
