Much like small and large businesses, charities are feeling the impact of the spread of COVID-19.
Some charity trade organizations have canceled conferences, and others are forging ahead while advising attendees to take measures to protect themselves and others, such as frequent hand washing and refraining from handshaking.
The Better Business Bureau is offering some advice to charitable organizations, suggesting they develop alternative program delivery plans should staff be significantly reduced due to sick leave, and that they approve more remote work alternatives for employees.
Contingency plans for charities will need to be individually tailored for a charity’s facts and circumstances.
Some potential points might include identifying how the charity’s programs may need to be modified to address changing demands, particularly if the charity is already addressing issues such as health, education or helping vulnerable individuals.
