The COVID-19 Crisis has placed unprecedented burdens and constraints on the nonprofit community in critical areas like fundraising, capacity-building, programming, leadership development and short/long-term strategic planning. In response, award-winning nonprofit leader and consultant Rob Levit has prepared a series of interactive online workshops to empower participants with new mindsets, practical tools and innovative approaches for thriving in the “next normal.”
Now is the time for a revisioning, reinvention and refreshing of programs. Most nonprofit program models have been severely disrupted but organizations that use the COVID-19 Crisis to reexamine programs have the opportunity to create positive impact in unforeseen and serendipitous ways. Learn, discuss and share best practices for programming in the new era and hear success stories of diverse nonprofits making mission impact right now.
