UCONN Seminars on U.S. and Overseas Experiences

Last week @UCONN School of Public Policy in Hartford and Stamford, the Civic Safeguard Strategies team led a timely discussion on how global trends related to civic space offer useful orientation for the current U.S. nonprofit landscape.

We explored the reality that shifts in political rhetoric and policy can translate into real operational constraints for organizations. This is a pattern we have seen repeatedly across international contexts. Identifying these risk dynamics early, however, is only the first step.

The core of our session focused on the pivot: supporting organizations to move from a reactive state of uncertainty to a strong, grounded footing. By strengthening financial viability, scenario thinking, adaptive planning and management, and strategic communications, nonprofits can be ready and able to continue delivering on their mission with confidence, even as conditions change rapidly.
