What are Kansas City nonprofits navigating right now?

The latest pulse survey of 90 nonprofit leaders points to a sector that remains resilient while facing significant pressure. Nearly 7 in 10 organizations report high or very high pressure from demand for services, while funding continues to be one of the sector’s biggest challenges.

At the same time, nonprofits are adapting; strengthening operations, exploring partnerships, and looking for new ways to build long-term financial sustainability.

The survey was conducted through a partnership between the Midwest Center for Nonprofit Leadership, Community Capital Fund, Nonprofit Connect: Network. Learn. Grow., Support Kansas City, and United Way of Greater Kansas City.
