Thank you - for supporting CEN, for supporting the nonprofit sector, and for supporting our communities through the devastating challenges we’ve all been facing. We deeply appreciate this contribution to CEN and remain committed to leveraging your support to promote the effectiveness and sustainability of all the communities, organizations, and causes that you care about and that have been most impacted.
 
​
At CEN, we feel so grateful that our local communities have the support of incredible nonprofit leaders who continue to fight for the needs of the people they serve and the missions they move forward. As you’ve likely seen, the demand on these leaders – particularly our sector’s leaders of color - has been growing exponentially in recent years and in 2020 especially. 

At the onset of the pandemic, CEN mobilized quickly to answer the call, shifting all of our services online and embedding timely resources on crisis management, contingency planning, and resilience. As our country then experienced heightened race equity issues, ongoing effects of the pandemic, and then local fires, the needs and complexities became bigger than any of us could have imagined. In response, CEN continued to provide nonprofit leaders with a supportive environment and vital touch-point to coach them through this difficult and evolving situation and to help them build skills and resources to sustain themselves through the crisis and beyond.



We offered over $50K in no-cost services near the onset of the pandemic and have provided significant program discounts across the board. Additionally, 100% of the leaders and organizations participating in the current Leaders Institute cohort needed some level of scholarship to access the program. Your generosity makes this type of response possible and your support today will help us increase the sustainability of the vital nonprofits, services, and causes that you care about and that our communities rely on, especially now.
 

This is a time of both challenge and opportunity. Old practices are being confronted, historic trauma is being brought to light, and new approaches to create true equity are being acknowledged. We know there is still a lot of work to be done, but we’ve also seen our sector respond with rapid innovation to maintain service to the community.
 
​
As we look to the future, we hope you’ll join us in this critical work through a gift to CEN.
