Description
The current global pandemic has forced rural nonprofits to serve a larger, needier population with scarce resources. For rural-located nonprofits the strain has been devastating. Yet, there are many rural nonprofits who have managed to not only weather this trial but emerge triumphant.
Additionally, there is deep overlap between the issues that affect rural nonprofits and those that affect faith-based nonprofits. Faith leaders have also found themselves navigating the new realities caused by COVID-19 and are working to discern ways faith institutions can safely convene services, encourage healthful actions in their congregants, honor sacred traditions, and grow the generosity of their members.
This presentation will provide rural nonprofit leaders with tools and best practices that will help move them from surviving to thriving.
