NEW GUIDE

Going Forward: Best Practices and Considerations for Non-Profit Reopening

May 2020 | njnonprofits.org 

A Message from the CEO of the Center for Non-Profits:
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound and tragic impact on our society, which has fundamentally altered our societal norms and professional practices. For non-profit organizations, the consequences have been no less drastic, typified by canceled programming and events, skyrocketing needs for front-line services, funding interruptions, conversion to remote work, staffing disruptions and layoffs, and adoption of new operational protocols.
Through it all, as they have always done, non-profits have persevered, finding new ways of fulfilling vital missions and stepping up to address the needs. It’s times of crisis that elevate:appreciation of the importance of non-profits in our lives.
As discussion shifts to phased reopening of offices and resumption of in-person activities, the time is right to take a fresh look at how we all will operate going forward.
We are pleased to offer this guide as a framework as you adjust to this new and continuously shifting environment. Importantly, this is not a legal guide or official directive, but rather a tool to give you food for thought and connections to additional resources.
