Nonprofit 911: What's Next?

The Roundtable, the Center for Nonprofit Advancement and United Way of the National Capital Area released a survey highlighting the economic impact on nonprofits - Nonprofit Economic Impact Survey.

60% of nonprofits are unable to meet revenue goals
Many nonprofits are considering collaborations, partnerships and mergers as a means to stay afloat.
