Effects of COVID-19 on Florida Nonprofits

In April 2020, Florida Nonprofit Alliance produced a report assessing the impact of COVID-19 on Florida's nonprofit sector. This report was funded by Wells Fargo.

Key Findings include:

  • 98% of nonprofit organizations that responded have been affected by COVID-19
  • Almost 80% have experienced a negative financial impact because of the virus
  • 73% of nonprofits have had a disruption in their services, and more than 1/3 have experienced an increase in demand
  • More than half have had disruptions to the work of their staff and/or volunteers
  • Organizations are doing the best they can in a rapidly changing world, but they need additional resources, especially funding, to survive and recover
  • Advocacy continues to play a vital role to ensure nonprofits are included in all stimulus and relief packages
  • Nonprofit recovery from COVID-19 will not be immediate once the virus is under control, and recovery will require help, especially financial, from funders
