Abstract

Kathleen Enright notes in the monograph of, ‘General Operating Support’ by Grantmakers for Effective Organizations, that “the result of a steady diet of restricted project based funding is nonprofits hobbled in their ability to strengthen their infrastructures, have flexibility to respond to new or changing conditions, plan for the long term, invest in staff and technology---all the things that any business…needs to be successful over the long haul.”

The nonprofit and social sector is a rapidly changing environment. It demands that organizations adapt to increase community needs and limited revenues by identifying ways to provide services and core operations more effectively and efficiently. Developing a Business Continuity and Leadership Development Plan will help organizations identify, retain and develop emerging talent to face these current and future needs.
