Nonprofit Hiring Freezes

Our own Robert passed this information along. From The NonProfit Times:

Almost one in five nonprofits that responded plan a hiring freeze while 13 percent plan a reduction in their marketing budget, 8 percent a reduction in staff, and 6.5 percent a reduction in programming. More than 21 percent
responded with “other” changes, which included among other things, a four-day work week, 5-percent cuts in all budget areas, not hiring a major gifts officer, a one-year wage freeze, reducing health insurance benefits, and postponing the announcement of or at least reviewing plans for a capital campaign.

And of course Joan passed along the sad news about the Everett Public Service Internship Program closing down.
