Bottom Line Training Series

Workshops to Help Your Nonprofit Survive the Economic Crisis

Resources have always been in short supply in the non-profit sector. But the current economic downturn is making scarce resources even more limited at a time when the need for non-profit services is growing within our communities. 

The faltering global economy and a social compact still suffering from years of neglect make the work of the non-profit sector more challenging, more complex and more important than ever. As non-profit organizations and supporters, we must bridge our work – and missions – to longer-term solutions. The times demand action now.

Supporting Nonprofits and Communities Through the Rough Times

TSNE is responding to the challenge with a multi-pronged approach to support nonprofits during this difficult time.

We are offering a series of free workshops, Bottom Line: Workshops to Help Your Nonprofit Survive the Economic Crisis, focused on quick, easy to absorb - but essential - information for strengthening your organization to sustain itself through the crisis.

Training in areas such as budgeting, human resources, fund development and more, first offered in early 2009, will continue to help groups shore up for what will be the hardest year in many generations for nonprofits – 2010.

In addition, as part of our ongoing consulting services and organizational transitions practice, we are fine-tuning our organizational assessments to help nonprofits ground themselves in their current fiscal reality and make the sometimes hard choices to move from crisis to opportunity.

In addition to resources that we’ve added to our website, we are co-sponsoring collaborative efforts across the region to lay the ground work for developing more sustainable and longer-term solutions that are emerging from greater cooperation among all sectors in society.
