Dear Reader,

Time flies between recessions, and memories fade. It’s a function of how long I have been in this job that I can remember very clearly the run-up, the speculations, the course, and the aftermath of the last great recession’s effect on nonprofits and communities. Frankly, even as we were covering it, we saw one of NPQ’s own most fruitful earned income sources take a dive. We felt the pain firsthand; it almost killed us as a publication.

Going into that last recession, we were unsure what the country would face over what period of time and had little ability to predict its length and its effect on different nonprofit subsectors—housing, the arts, childcare, etc.—and on different revenue sources, like earned income, donations, contracts, and so forth.

But by its conclusion, improvements to our data gathering had given us more information than ever about the dynamics of a recession’s effects on nonprofits, and some ways to do a little preparation.

It gave us lessons to impart, and we will be sharing the facts, figures, strategies, and tactics in our first online session of the season, September 26, 2019, from 2:00 pm to 3:30 pm.

This single webinar costs $69—but here is the deal: NPQ is building out a membership program to make sure you’ll never see cost as a barrier to availing yourselves of any particular resource, like this next session.

This series alone will have between ten and 12 additional webinars over the next year. (You can check out the first six here.) Other benefits will build over time, and they’ll go way beyond just webinars.

The membership is only $199—it’s not just a deal, it’s a way to ensure NPQ is always there for you in even the toughest times.

We are already seeing a nice influx of willing participants, so don’t miss signing up while there’s still room left in the recession session!

And please let all your friends know! You are our best ambassadors.

Your friend,
