<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">NAO’s Planning During Change: A Toolkit for Nonprofits is a new tool for nonprofits to plan and forecast your financial health through the current COVID-19 crisis and into recovery. The
<b>“Planning During Change: A Toolkit for Nonprofits”</b> was developed to provide nonprofits a starting point as they consider near- and mid-term plans for their organizations amid the uncertainty we are all facing. The toolkit presents an opportunity to begin
framing your position and response, is a launching point for conversations for team members, and has practical templates for building action plans for your programs and finances. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">The tool was originally developed by our colleagues at the <a href="https://www.mtnonprofit.org/" target="_blank">Montana Nonprofit Association (link is external)</a> and adapted with permission
by NAO in partnership with our colleagues at the <a href="https://www.nonprofitsteward.org/" target="_blank">Center for Nonprofit Stewardship (CNS) (link is external)</a>. The toolkit is specifically designed for smaller all-volunteer or small-staffed nonprofits
and is provided free for your use. NAO, together with CNS, will be developing a set of trainings to walk nonprofits through the use of the toolkit; however it is designed as a self-study tool and can be used by any nonprofit. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
