Conversations for Nonprofits in Tough Times

About The Commons

In the midst of one of the nation’s worst economic crises, nonprofits are facing shrinking endowments, sluggish cash flow, and cutbacks in support from corporations, foundations, and individuals. For some, these forces challenge their current operations and even their missions.

The Commons is a platform for discussing options, surfacing solutions, and supporting organizations serving the public good. As a project of Lipman Hearne, the nation’s premier marketing and communications firm focused on the nonprofit sector, it draws on the company’s many thought-leaders and practitioners.
