According to our June 2020 survey of Star rated nonprofits, 72% of organizations have suffered financially due to the pandemic. Additionally, 54% of respondents have cut back on program services due to the pandemic/economic shutdown. To overcome this disruption and to continue to serve communities, many nonprofits are adapting and innovating.
Today, we are honored to share a first-hand account of what innovation and adaptation look like during the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent economic crisis from Habitat for Humanity.
Around this time last year, students, parents and teachers across the country prepared for
another school year. They purchased school supplies, set up their classrooms, packed lunches,
and everyone shared the anticipation of what was supposed to be an exciting year.
