As CARES Act dollars begin to dissipate, nonprofits are scrambling to replace funding that has been essential to the sustainability of their organizations over the past year. Grants are becoming increasingly competitive regardless of the cause, meanwhile, the core individual donor base hasn’t quite realized full economic recovery. How can your organization take critical steps now to become more appealing to donors, funders, sponsors, and grantors, and ensure long-term sustainability in this new post-pandemic world?

Organizations that can demonstrate and communicate their social impact—including articulating their social return on investment (SROI), will be the organizations that will win across these multiple sources of funding.
