Nearly 40 percent of nonprofit organizations lack adequate staff to deliver their programs and services, a new report from the Johns Hopkins University Listening Post Project finds. According to the report, Recession Pressures on Nonprofit Jobs (17 pages, PDF), almost a third of the 526 organizations surveyed by the project reported making workforce reductions over the preceding six months (October 2009 to March 2010), while only 23 percent reported employment gains over the same period and 46 percent reported no change in head count despite facing greater demand for their services. In addition to workforce reductions, the survey found that nonprofits have taken other actions that impact staff and their ability to deliver critical programs and services.
