The COVID-19 crisis has caused deep and widespread strain across sectors and individuals since taking
hold in early 2020. Despite this adversity, nonprofits—especially those comprising the modern social
safety net—have continued to serve their communities during this tumultuous time (Kulish, 2020). This
report seeks to understand (a) the major challenges facing nonprofits in Washington state as a result of
the COVID-19 pandemic, (b) the strategies that nonprofits are using to mitigate the effects of the crisis,
(c) how nonprofits are experiencing changes in funder relationships as a result of the crisis, (d) the
degree to which nonprofits in the state have accessed assistance under the CARES Act, and (e) the most
pressing needs nonprofits have as they face the ongoing uncertainty and hardship presented by
COVID-19.
