This report provides proven business and legal strategies to help nonprofit leaders and board members meet the continuing challenges posed in a weak or uncertain economy. Nonprofit organizations are coping with increased demand for their services as funding remains precarious. Despite an unpredictable financial outlook, there are multiple strategies and best practices that nonprofits can pursue to minimize risks, sustain and enhance their programs, maximize their resources, and better position themselves to carry forth their charitable missions. The report focuses on five key areas: mission, people, facilities, funds, and relationships. It includes a detailed analysis and hypothetical examples of when and how legal assistance can make a positive difference. It also recommends public policies to support nonprofit advocacy, rationalize government contracting, simplify regulatory reviews, and increase access to working capital.
