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:
