On Third-Sector Funding and The Economy A special address recorded October 3.
What the financial crisis means to "nonprofit fundraising" and how to respond.
With Tom Suddes, a 35-year veteran of the third sector.
Over the last few weeks we've received hundreds of questions about the economy, funding plans and financial uncertainty. Tom Suddes has prepared a special session to address these questions including:
- What a 'bailout' and economic uncertainty mean to your organization.
- How to respond (based on field experience from other economic crisis and field experience over the last six months).
- An action plan including a conversation on the fundamentals which become increasingly important in a downturn.
As is always the case, Tom presents this 'state of the sector' as a challenge to change -- giving listeners and readers the clarity to move forward and a 'shot in the arm'. The audio address is 30 minutes followed by 15 minutes of Q&A.
