    I would encourage you to get involved directly with a variety of nonprofits either as a staff member or volunteer. This real-world experience will help give important context to your research. Knowing the work firsthand is the best way to ensure that your recommendations are relevant and helpful. I know this doesn’t help you in the moment while you’re still in school, but it’s some encouragement for the future if you’d like to continue developing tools that might be helpful to the social sector.

On October 8, 2025, Join Us for a National Town Hall on the Financial State of the Nonprofit Sector

Nonprofit GPS is a new, action-based community designed to help nonprofits navigate today’s disrupted revenue landscape. Built in consultation with organizations nationwide, it focuses on the real financial challenges nonprofits face — business model risks, capital management, budgeting, governance, and more. Together, we’ll share practical strategies and highlight bright spots of practice that strengthen missions, even in the most disruptive times.

At this event you will hear: an analysis of the current economic landscape for nonprofits and the implications for practice; what array of critical new resources will be offered by Nonprofit GPS over the next three months and beyond; and how to become involved as a practice leader in this community.

Join a space designed to foster support, inclusivity, and respect for every voice.
