In 2020, nonprofits will face many challenges. A recent article published by The NonProfit Times examines five of the biggest obstacles they anticipate for nonprofits this year.
- Diversity, Equity and Inclusion – Initiatives in these areas have been getting plenty of attention by for-profit companies for some years now. While non-profits do not deal with corporate regulators and stakeholders calling for greater diversity, they will begin to feel more pressure from funders and activists.
- Income Inequality – Much more attention is being paid to the phenomenon of income inequality. Nonprofits should consider focusing on paying a living wage to their workers and putting thought into their executive pay strategies.
- Nonprofits Taking Stands – Nonprofits play a key role in driving change when it comes to social and environmental issues. As members of younger generations take on leadership roles, they are expected to be even more vocal.
- Environmental Sustainability – Despite the vocal support of environmental causes from many nonprofit leaders, their organizations are still often found lacking. Younger leaders are more likely to encourage the adoption of sustainable practices.
- Cybersecurity – Cybercrime is a big problem—one for which many nonprofits are not sufficiently prepared. As the threat grows, nonprofit organizations need to move rapidly to adopt new security measures.
