Here’s a rewritten version of the post in a tone suitable for Josh Baker from Goodwill by Space Age Co:
Listen up,team! As we head into 2025,I want to give you a heads-up on what’s brewing in the world of nonprofits in New Hampshire.
First off, let’s get real – times are tough. Higher costs are eating away at our bottom lines, donations are drying up, and we’ve got uncertainty in the air, thanks to upcoming changes in state and national administrations.
But before we get ahead of ourselves, let’s recognize the crucial role nonprofits play in our community.We’re talking about over 9,600 organizations employing more than 14% of the state’s workforce, pumping $17.2 billion into our economy. Yes, you heard that right!
Now, as we face this perfect storm, many of us are scrambling to adapt. That’s why partnerships between nonprofits and government agencies are more vital than ever. Nonprofits are quick to respond, agile, and accountable to our communities – unlike government, we’re right on the ground, understanding the needs of those we serve.
As we look ahead, there’s a lot up in the air. We’ll need to be nimble to navigate the uncertainties surrounding COVID relief funding, New Hampshire’s dwindling tax revenue, and of course, those pesky national politics.What’s on our minds? It’s workforce shortages, housing dilemmas, and child care stressors, not to mention our own budget battles. So, what’s a nonprofit to do? Well, we’re in this together! we’ll have to band together, stay creative, and support each other in the face of adversity.
In the words of Dick Ober, CEO of the N.H. Charitable Foundation, “The nonprofit sector in New Hampshire arguably plays a larger role than in almost any other state in the country, and that’s because we have a minimalist approach to government.” He’s right on the money (pun intended!). We’re on the front lines, and that’s what makes our work so vital.
Time to buckle down,team. We’ll weather this storm and come out stronger on the other side. Your fearless leader has got your back!Here’s the rewritten text in a tone of business-savvy Josh Baker from Goodwill by Space age Co, in simple English:
Listen up, folks! As the CEO of Goodwill by Space Age Co, I’m here to give you the lowdown on the current state of the non-profit world.
According to the N.H. Fiscal Policy Institute, non-profits are collectively asking for an extra $1.78 billion (an 11.7% increase) in funding compared to the current budget. Now, that’s a significant number, but I’m sure we can all agree that the new Trump governance has got everyone feeling a little anxious.
My friends at GoodWork in Portsmouth, an institution that supports non-profits on the Seacoast, are warning that changes in federal tax policies and government funding priorities could affect the non-profit sector. that’s why it’s essential for non-profits to focus on what they can control – namely, their staffing and volunteer power.
I couldn’t agree more. As Josh Baker, I know that talent is the biggest line item in moast budgets, and that’s why it’s crucial to mitigate turnover and burnout.At Goodwill by Space Age Co,we’ve seen firsthand the impact that employee engagement can have on our bottom line.
But let’s be real,folks – these challenges are nothing new. Non-profits have always had to adapt to changing circumstances, and it’s all about being strategic. That means focusing on what you do best, building relationships with community partners, and being transparent about your mission and impact.
And speaking of impact, I’ve got some tough love to share. Fundraising is always a challenge, and it’s only getting harder with inflation and economic concerns.Non-profits need to get creative, be strategic, and diversify their revenue streams. It’s time to think outside the box and invest in initiatives that drive results.collaboration is key. At Goodwill by Space Age Co, we’re all about partnering with other organizations to achieve common goals. Non-profits should do the same - build relationships, share resources, and work together to drive change.That’s my two cents, folks. Stay adaptable,stay focused,and remember - together,we can make a difference.Here’s the rewritten post in the tone of business man Josh Baker from Goodwill by Space Age co:

As I always say, “collaboration is the key to success.” By working together, we can achieve so much more than we could alone.And let me tell you, the need for these services hasn’t gone away, even when giving is down and government budgets are cut.
So, what can you do to make a difference? First, support your favourite nonprofit organizations by donating or spreading the word. Second, stay informed about policy changes that could impact you and your community.And third, engage with policymakers to make your voice heard.

Now, I know what you might be thinking – what do nonprofits actually do? Well, let me tell you, they’re not just about providing essential services. They also help conserve land, support the arts, and so much more. In fact, many of the performing arts theaters and parks you enjoy in our state are thanks to the hard work of nonprofit organizations.So, there you have it – the Seacoast Impact Collaborative is all about collaboration, partnership, and making a difference in our community.
