How to Prepare Your Charity for a Recession

February 19, 2008 | Read Time: 1 minute

The shaky economy has many charity leaders worried about how their organizations will carry out their missions and pay their bills. Some individual and corporate donors are already scaling back or canceling their gifts at a time when many charities are seeing increased demand for their services.

How can your organization weather the storm?

The Chronicle has invited two fund-raising and management experts to take your questions on this crucial issue during a live discussion today at noon Eastern time.

Answering your questions will be Michael Seltzer, author of Securing Your Organization’s Future, a book about how nonprofit groups can survive hard time, and Robert Sharpe, a planed-giving expert and consultant.

To improve the chances your questions will be answered, readers are welcome to post questions and comments before the conversation begins. And if you can’t join us for the discussion, a transcript will be available this afternoon.
