Economy
Philanthropy faces an inherent paradox during this period of market instability and recession; precisely as asset bases bear the brunt of the downturn, the needs of the communities we serve increase dramatically.
NCG recognizes the fundamental challenges you face and wants to support you as you thoughtfully weigh your options on how to proceed. It is crucial to consider the issue broadly and factor in many strategies to your response. These resources are intended to add to that dialogue and help grantmakers adapt to the changing economic environment.
Updates will be made regularly to provide the most current information coming from the philanthropic field.
