3 Priorities for Avoiding the Potholes on the Road to Recovery

As demand escalates, we can easily say, "yes," and try and take it all on, feeling compassionate and compelled to meet every need.

There may be other people or groups very well-equipped to help — perhaps even more gifted at the tasks than you. Now more than ever, charities need to collaborate with other organizations in their communities. No one can afford to duplicate services, and with the down economy you may find ways of cutting expenses while expanding services. Consolidate and cut out the waste. Don't be a lone ranger.
