Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:13:13 GMT

As giving season begins, many nonprofits continue to struggle with not only donations being down, but also staff and volunteer shortages.“We’re seeing a lot of challenges for nonprofits this year,” said Rick Cohen, chief communications officer and chief operating officer for the National Council of Nonprofits in D.C.Cohen said data provided by the nonprofits represented by the council showed that from 2021 to 2022 individual donations fell by 13.4%. Also seen last year, the amount of disposable income held by any one person dropped to a 40-year-low of 1.7%, according to the organization’s data.This year, things are not expected to go back up but instead remain about the same, a projection that Cohen admits is probably optimistic.“It (2023) is looking to be more level than up or down, which I guess is better than down but still with inflation, where it is, even level giving turns into a down year in terms of real dollars,” he said.In the survey, seven out of 10 nonprofits...
