Chapter 20
Ten Tips for Pivoting in Times of Uncertainty
IN THIS CHAPTER
Making choices to keep your nonprofit afloat
Knowing when to close your doors
You’ll likely come across problems in the course of managing your nonprofit organization. Everyone does. But sometimes those problems are so severe that you must change the way you do your work to address them.
You may face a catastrophe — a natural disaster, a pandemic, the destruction of a venue, or the serious illness or death of a staff or board member. Or shifts in legislation or foundation policies may cause you to lose important grants or contracts. Although some crises are sudden and fierce, others may build gradually. Several modest deficits may add up to significant debt. The needs of your constituents may change. A competitor may win away your clients or staff members.
The choices you make in challenging circumstances depend, in part, on how much time you have to plan. Is the change you’re facing sudden, or has it been gradual? Is it long-term or temporary? Thinking about a crisis or dry spell when you’re currently successful isn’t fun, but it’s necessary in order to survive. So, in this chapter, we provide ten tips for making choices in tough times.
