You can’t get together face-to-face with your board or committee members during this pandemic, so how do you keep them engaged? Your previously scheduled meetings have turned into video meetings and your volunteers are asking what they can do to help. Staff is stretched and money is tight. An answer might be: Stewardship, Cultivation, and Awareness.
Stress and anxiety are running rampant during this time of quarantine. In normal times we experience stress, but the last few weeks have pushed us to a new level. The new stressors come from different sectors. It is no longer the traffic, the hustle and bustle of the workday, but now it comes from a place of fear that we might become infected with an invisible virus, and it can make you or your family really sick.
Giving Tuesday has announced May 5, 2020 to be #GivingTuesdayNow as an emergency response to COVID-19. It is designed to create a movement for unity and drive generosity for nonprofits. Many leaders, foundations, corporations, and online platforms have signed up showing their support for the movement.
Fred Rogers often told this story about when he was a boy and would see scary things on the news: “My mother would say to me, ‘Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.’ To this day, especially in times of disaster, I remember my mother’s words, and I am always comforted by realizing that there are still so many helpers — so many caring people in this world.”
