Nonprofits need support now more than ever. Taproot collected feedback from nearly 600 organizations for our 2024 Nonprofit Resiliency Survey. We asked about the challenges they were facing and the needs they anticipated in the coming years. Themes emerged around the need for capacity building, strengthening teams, and supporting sustainable growth.
Today, these needs are more urgent than ever. In addition to the gaps they identified just months ago, nonprofits are now navigating a shifting landscape like never before—facing sudden funding cuts and massive budget shortfalls. Some are forced to restructure, while others are in survival mode.
During a time of unprecedented challenge like this, skills-based volunteering offers a lifeline. The needs are great, but so is the expertise of the thousands of skilled professionals who can help organizations weather this storm.
What respondents have said:
- “Our normal is an extreme lack of resources, personnel and training. Helping problem solve around this reality is critical.”
- “Volunteers often bring new ideas and innovative solutions, helping to keep our organization dynamic and forward-thinking.”
- “We are underfunded and need the help of [volunteer] professionals in numerous areas. The work of Taproot has been critical for our ability to move forward and accomplish our goals.”
Whether you’re a nonprofit in need of expertise or a professional ready to give back, now is the time to get involved. Taproot is committed to connecting skilled professionals with nonprofits to foster greater impact. Let’s empower social good organizations with the tools and resources they need to thrive.
