Navigating Uncertainty, Strengthening Nonprofits

Nonprofits are facing increasing challenges—from disaster recovery to shifting policies and funding landscapes. At JRP, we connect organizations with skilled volunteers, expert-led training, and strategic resources to help them navigate uncertainty and build a stronger future. Whether it’s grant research, financial planning, board leadership, or crisis preparedness, we’re here to support the nonprofits that keep our communities thriving.

How We Are Helping During This Time

In response to the fires and ongoing recovery efforts, Jericho Road Pasadena is supporting local nonprofits with critical resources and expertise. Here’s how we’re actively helping:

  • Board Leadership Training: Our Effective Board Training Series equips boards with the tools to strengthen leadership and make strategic decisions during crises.
  • Matching Skilled Professionals with Nonprofits: We connect nonprofits with skilled professionals and volunteers in key areas, including those crucial for fire relief and recovery efforts, such as:
    • Risk Management: Implementing strategies to minimize damage and ensure continuity.
    • Strategic Planning: Developing short- and long-term recovery strategies.
    • Communications: Managing crisis messaging and public relations.
    • Finance: Providing guidance on managing budgets, cash flow, and resources during a crisis.
    • Data Management / Database Design: Helping track emergency relief efforts and maintain accurate records.
    • Human Resources: Assisting with staff and volunteer management, including recruitment and retention.
    • Legal Support: Providing legal advice on disaster relief, compliance, and liability issues.
    • Marketing: Helping nonprofits adjust marketing strategies and maintain visibility during a crisis.
  • Social Impact Leadership Training (April 2025): Our intensive program helps current and aspiring EDs/CEOs develop the leadership skills needed to guide their organizations through crises like fire relief efforts. This training focuses on strengthening leadership, strategic planning, and organizational resilience to ensure nonprofits can respond effectively and recover swiftly.
  • Timely Workshops and Training: We’re working with industry leaders to offer workshops on pressing nonprofit challenges, such as:
    • Disaster Preparedness & Recovery for Nonprofits
    • Navigating Policy & Funding Changes
    • Strengthening Board Leadership in Uncertain Times
    • Telling Your Story in a Changing Landscape
    • Dating Your Funder

Coffee & Conversation Meetings: Join informal meetings to connect, share experiences, and support one another in a relaxed, community-driven setting. These gatherings provide a safe space for nonprofit leaders to come together, foster a sense of community, and find mutual support during challenging times.

We’re here to help your nonprofit navigate uncertainty and strengthen its impact. If you have challenges or needs that are top of mind, we want to hear from you!

Nonprofit Testimonial

Each of our 125 schools is a nonprofit, as well as our umbrella organization. So many preventable problems happen because of unclear expectations around board responsibilities and lack of development. Mitch’s presentation will assist those attendees and their respective organizations in bringing their boards up, and we also introduced more folks in the community to Jericho Road in general. Thank you!

That moment of panic when I emailed you seriously the perfect example of how important it is that your organization exists. I was able to talk to Anna for two minutes and find a reliable source of expertise that my friend needed.

Don’t know how to bottle that or quite how to explain it all. Other than you’re an invaluable resource.
