Finding Your Helpers
We know things feel a little uncertain right now—budgets are tight, workloads are heavy, and that to-do list keeps growing. But you don’t have to do it alone, we’re here to lend a hand:
- Staffing changes? Post or find your next hire on the UNA Job Board.
- Feeling the pressure? UNA members get four free BetterHelp therapy sessions.
- Looking for support and community? Connect with fellow nonprofit pros on the Advocacy Bulletin Board and Slack channels to share challenges and swap ideas.
So take a deep breath (here’s a quick breathing exercise if you need it) and remember—you’re not just part of a nonprofit. You’re part of a community, and we’re always glad you’re here.
