National Council of Nonprofit Associations

We salute our colleagues in the philanthropic world that are sharing information with others to collaboratively address the economic downturn's inpact on communities across America.

Council on Foundations - Economic Xchange

The Economic Xchange is a web-based platform where members of the philanthropic sector can exchange information, dialogue, ideas, and tactics around the economic crisis and its impact on philanthropy.

Foundation Center - Focus on the Economic Crisis

The Foundation Center has launched a new focus center, Focus on the Economic Crisis, providing a wide array of resources to help nonprofits and foundations alike as they face the challenges of an unstable economy. Updated regularly, it includes interactive maps showing the geographic locations of community resources and funders; news, interviews, research, blog posts, and podcasts about the crisis and its potential impact on philanthropy; and information on training and scholarships that will help grantseekers become better fundraisers in an increasingly competitive environment.

“At times of crisis, Americans look to their local nonprofits for assistance,” said Brad Smith, president of the Foundation Center. “Our goal is to make sure that nonprofits and the foundations that support them have the knowledge they need to weather the storm.”
