The nonprofit sector has always played a vital role in bolstering the global economy. In the U.S. alone, nonprofits employ 12.3 million people, with payrolls exceeding those of most other U.S. industries. In addition, the world is seeing lasting effects of the pandemic that go beyond the COVID-19 health crisis, which can mean a serious increase in the demand for services placed on the nonprofit sector. Even before COVID-19, 75% of nonprofits reported an increase in demand for programs. This is likely to increase dramatically.
While governments, businesses, and nonprofits alike initially shifted to working remotely, many are now beginning to assess whether they are ready to reopen their workplaces and how to stay open safely. Specifically, nonprofits with large workforces in multiple locations or chapters, or those that have primarily in-person operations like museums, performing arts centers, community centers, humanitarian services and human services organizations, and more.
