The Future is Calling. Don't Let It Go to Voicemail.

Given the economic climate of the last few years, and the challenges still ahead, it is more important than ever for nonprofits to position themselves for long-term sustainability. Change can be difficult, even under the best of conditions. But when change is forced upon organizations, it can be overwhelming. While it certainly doesn't feel this way, the challenges you have faced have been a good training ground.

Why? Because things are never going back to the way they were.

Nonprofit organizations must accept that, and use the knowledge you have gained to increase your capacity by fueling your performance "engines."

The reality is, it's not just the economy. Today nonprofits find themselves in a "perfect storm" of change, with challenges also coming from:
  • The increasing need to provide benchmarks and measurable outcomes for nonprofit program effectiveness
  • The concern in some quarters about the quality of management in nonprofit organizations
  • The need for greater engagement and leadership from our boards and board members
  • How these needs and concerns will affect philanthropy going forward
  • The shift in power to the leaders of Generation X
  • The inroads being made by for-profit corporations providing traditionally nonprofit services
  • The blending of our population
  • The drop-off in giving, and more.

Even before the economic downturn, the David and Lucille Packard Foundation was calling for nonprofit organizational effectiveness, describing it as "a rich blend of strong management and sound governance that enables an organization to move steadily toward its goals, to adapt, to change, to innovate . . . (with) clarity of vision and alignment of goals and actions with that vision, (emphasizing) the importance of defining outcomes and measuring progress   . . . (with) reflection and self-assessment in the context of an increasingly complex and ever-changing society."
