Non-profit looking for new program ideas?

Question

I work for a nonprofit and we're looking for new ideas that could benefit our community. We have a food pantry and a necessity closet and help with rent and utilities Can you please help me brainstorm some new ideas that would benefit our clients? Thanks

Answer 1

A better source for brainstorming is to ask your CLIENTS. Have a series of group and individual discussions with your clients that discuss the biggest challenges they face. After you have identified these challenges, further identify what would be appropriate for your organization to address, and what would not (and what other organizations there are that can assist with such). Remember that your nonprofit is bound by its mission statement -- you shouldn't engage in activities that aren't covered by this.

Answer 2

Try to figure why there are so many fat people in line for your 'help'.
