Your nonprofit organization may be dependent on a team of volunteers on the Board and on the staff to run its operations. Even if a team member commits to long-term service, things happen in life that may cause a disruption to their commitment. Your nonprofit should be prepared for unexpected changes, such as the resignation of a key Board member or a dedicated staff member.
To preserve the organization in this event, your team should engage in succession planning. This is the process by which you determine specific critical roles within your nonprofit, identify and assess possible successors for these roles, and provide these successors with the necessary skills and training for future opportunities

United for Charity: An Independent Sector Report
In its recent report, United for Charity: How Americans Trust and Value the Charitable Sector, Independent Sector provides key insights into how Americans view the nonprofit sector and the cooperation between nonprofits and government. In general, these findings reveal an American public that greatly supports the work of the charitable sector.
One of the key findings of this report is that 78% of voters, and 85% of voters aged 18-34, believe that the federal government should collaborate more with charities in order to produce more effective and efficient solutions to societal problems.
This report, which cuts across party and state lines, reveals that Americans strongly support the work of the charitable sector. It is for this reason, among others, that MNN continues to advocate for public policies that support the nonprofit sector, while fostering relationships and collaborations between nonprofits and elected officials.
