Surviving the Downturn : Environmental Nonprofits Face a New Economic Reality (By Kristin Bender): "The groups that act as stewards for the earth’s oceans, land, water and wildlife are facing a new battle: the poor economy. With the national unemployment rate hovering around 9.5%—the highest it’s been in 25 years—and more than 14.5 million Americans out of work, funding for the nation’s large and small environmental nonprofits has stalled, forcing them to reexamine their core priorities.
Leaders of these nonprofits say they have cut jobs, eliminated annual events, reduced the number of issues they can tackle and have watched annual donations dip due to the economy."
