Philanthropic organizations are presently facing uncertain times as the world grapples with the COVID-19 pandemic. Some organizations have found a way to thrive despite the pandemic while others are in a wait-and-see mode and are asking: what now? Do we roll back our plans and wait to see what happens? Steve Higgins has an answer for you: not a chance. When the pandemic is over, and it will be, you may be too far behind to catch up with ongoing development in the philanthropic space.
So the question is, how do you get through this season and possibly thrive? Steve says not to slow down or back off. Organizations are still thriving by making things happen, including deciding to move forward with real compassion and empathy; and that’s just one of the many things they are doing differently. What else should your organization be doing to thrive through this global pandemic and beyond?
Get all the details in this episode of the Philanthropy212 podcast as Penny Cowden and Steve Higgins of Carter talk about how not-for-profit organizations are pivoting to thrive in this global pandemic, the emerging trends, and what to expect in the philanthropy sector post-COVID-19.
