84: Innovation and Changes In Nonprofits – Featuring Guest Joan Gustafson

Businesses big and small have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic in one way or another. How does this affect nonprofits specifically, and what innovations can they embrace in order to keep up? Few people know the answers to these questions better than Joan Gustafson, external affairs officer at the Michigan Nonprofit Association (MNA) and our guest this episode. For the past several months, Joan has been working tirelessly to ensure that the many nonprofits within the state of Michigan have the resources and tools they need to not only continue helping their communities, but also to stay afloat themselves. What innovations have Michigan nonprofits adopted lately to keep up with changes and improve their offerings in the process? We chat with Joan about how Michigan nonprofits are adapting, as well as the role the MNA plays in keeping Michigan nonprofits afloat as we collectively navigate 2020.
