COVID-19 & Your Nonprofit Sector

The Nonprofit Partnership’s mission is to advance the nonprofit sector by promoting best practices, fostering connections, and celebrating excellence. This means that we need to promote best practices in times of growth as well as in times of uncertainty.

The world is currently experiencing a public health crisis: COVID-19. Below, you will find resources regarding the virus in relation to the nonprofit sector. We encourage our members to access these resources to best prepare yourself and your organization.

We are closely monitoring the situation and will continue to add resources to this page.

If you have any questions about The Nonprofit Partnership’s response, please reach out to Erin Yates at eyates@yournpp.org.
