IU experts available to comment on impact of COVID-19 pandemic on religious, nonprofit and volunteer organizations
April 21, 2020
INDIANAPOLIS and BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- With the need for physical distancing greatly altering face-to-face interactions, nonprofits, volunteer and political organizations, and religious congregations are trying to find a way to continue their work, maintain their membership and keep existing members committed to their missions. With unemployment on the rise, individuals across the country have tighter budgets, and dues and donations are likely on the chopping block. At the same time, charitable donations are on the rise. How are nonprofits and civic and faith-based organizations responding to these challenges? Which organizations will feel the most impact? How will they be able to continue providing vital services, and what resources are available to help them weather the coronavirus pandemic? Indiana University has experts available to discuss these issues. For more information, contact Mary Keck at 812-856-2148 or marykeck@iu.edu.
