New Series: Strategizing through a Long-Term Crisis

During a long-term crisis, nonprofit organizations must be able to see different "altitudes ," (or perspectives) and simultaneously plan for the short, medium, and long terms. As we transition into our fourth month of COVID-19 response in a climate of increased urgency around racial justice, organizations are once again challenged to merge rapid-responses with strategic action to address needs in our community. The balance of action and planning in the context of constant change can seem daunting but is necessary.
