According to the survey of more than 200 organizations in L.A. County, 72% say there's a significant increase in demand as a result of the pandemic.
Nonprofit organizations play a critical role in providing essential social services, and they went above and beyond during the COVID-19 pandemic.
"Oftentimes, it's almost as if we're told, 'We're going to fund you, but we expect you to make miracles happen," said Dr. Wilma Franco, the executive director of the SELA Collaborative, a Los Angeles-area nonprofit. Franco and Derek Steele with the Social Justice Learning Institute point to the impact of research on thoughtful solutions.
"Oddly enough, or maybe not oddly, the bigger the organization, the better the chance of them getting more resources because you have to be able to hire grant writers, contract administrators, all the people who can interface with especially government, which can be very challenging to interface, but with also philanthropy and business," said Executive Director of the Pat Brown Institute for Public Affairs at Cal State LA Dr. Raphe Sonenshein.
