Unfortunately, the systemic resource challenges facing our sector will not go away just because we’ve gotten better at internally managing them. Want on-demand nonprofit stats for a paper, blog post or grant proposal? It’s also likely that we’ve all gotten a little better at planning, managing, and expecting the unexpected.
