Advocacy is a vital tool for nonprofits, but keeping supporters engaged can be challenging.

If government grants were to disappear, how can nonprofits ensure their survival? The answer lies in diversification, strategic planning, and community engagement. Here’s how nonprofits can adapt and thrive even in the absence of government funding.
