Weathering the Storm: Challenges and Opportunities for Colorado Nonprofits During Recession

Jointly published by the Community Resource Center and the Colorado Nonprofit Association and sponsored by The Colorado Health Foundation, Weathering The Storm demonstrates that Colorado's economy has impacted nonprofits all over the state.
Nearly 70 percent of nonprofits have seen an increase or significant increase in demand for programs and services and 40 percent of those nonprofits surveyed were unable to meet the needs of current clients at year end due to the combination of demand for service and lack of funding. Nearly 40 percent saw decreases in corporate funding, 30 percent in special events and individual donations, and 27 percent in foundation grants.

In addition to publishing this report, CRC and the Colorado Nonprofit Association are designing resources, toolkits, and trainings to help nonprofits deal with the ramifications of the recession. We will host training sessions in 12 locations around the state over the next six months, with details about the first four trainings below.
