COVID-19 magnified ongoing challenges to non-profit sustainability including maintaining income, finding funding, and reducing costs while enhancing community services.
Join an informative webinar, sponsored by the Hunterdon Chamber of Commerce and Sussex County Chamber of Commerce, on USDA Rural Development grant, loan and technical assistance programs for non-profits. Michael Thulen, Jr. New Jersey State Director, USDA Rural Development adds, “Non-profits are the foundation to many communities they serve and the demand for help seems to increase constantly these days. The USDA can be a resource to provide working capital for carrying expenses while income has dropped during the pandemic and provide assistance with real estate, equipment purchases, or renovations to existing space to make them safe. We hope you can participate in the webinar sponsored by the Hunterdon and Sussex Chambers of Commerce on October 22nd at 9:00 to 10:00 a.m.”
