    I’m the Finance Manager at an adult literacy nonprofit with an annual budget of 1.2 million. We also, thankfully, did not have to use our reserves to weather the pandemic. We received a PPP loan of $156,000 that we used to pay for staff salaries and some rent costs. Donations also increased as people were motivated to help bridge the digital divide that impacts our students. We also went remote in our teaching for the first 1.5 years of the pandemic which cut costs significantly, and we are now slowly increasing in-person options as of this year.

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.
