Thoughts from nonprofit center of excellence leadership
Centering People Strategy in a Time of Uncertainty
The recent government shutdown may have just ended, but its effects on the nonprofit sector, especially those reliant on direct or indirect federal funding, are still unfolding.
With only a short-term funding extension in place, nonprofit leaders face a familiar but urgent challenge: how to support their people through uncertainty. And with the holiday season approaching, the emotional and operational stakes are even higher.
Nonprofits are powered by people. The shutdown disrupted not just programs and payments, but also the psychological safety of staff who are already stretched thin. It also had a tremendous impact on those who rely on their services, many scrambling for basic necessities including food and nutrition. We saw some of the longest food lines of our time, heavily taxing food banks across the country. The list is long when it comes to nonprofits who had to do even more with their already limited resources.
