News and Resources for Non-Profit Organizations

The Center for Non-Profits created Going Forward: Best Practices and Considerations for Non-Profit Reopening in an effort to assist vital organizations in our state as they adjust to our new environment. The guide is intended to be used as a framework, with the expectation that your organization's recovery will require responsiveness to a continuously shifting environment. This is not a legal guide or official directive, but rather a tool to give you food for thought and connections to additional resources. Information is changing rapidly. Visit the Center’s COVID-19 online resource page for their latest guidance.
