Nonprofits
Face Obstacles to Accessing Investment Capital
|
|
|
|
Nonprofits are facing pressing needs for
investment capital but report widespread obstacles to accessing that capital,
according to a new report from the Johns Hopkins University's Nonprofit
Listening Post Project.
Johns Hopkins researchers surveyed a nationwide sample of nonprofit
organizations in five broad fields of nonprofit action (children and
family services, community and economic development, elderly housing and
services, museums, and theaters) to learn about the capital needs of
these organizations and the ease or difficulty they face in meeting these
needs.

After
almost three years with NPower Greater DC Region, senior consultant Adam
Weiss is moving on! He’s decided to follow his girlfriend to Albuquerque,
New Mexico, where she’ll be completing her medical residency. Adam plans
to continue assisting nonprofit organizations with their information
technology and to live in a wonderful adobe house. We and our clients
will miss him, but can take satisfaction in knowing that the foliage is
better here -- if you like that kind of thing. Thanks, Adam, and best
wishes!
Good luck Adam!
