Nonprofits in the San Francisco Bay Area have long struggled to find and keep affordable space in the region’s red-hot real estate market. The COVID-19 pandemic has brought a new array of space challenges for nonprofits. Nonprofits now face new challenges - renegotiating leases, shedding unused space, adapting spaces to meet physical distancing requirements, even expanding to meet increased demand for services. Even without the staggering economic consequences of the pandemic, the future of nonprofit workspace is in flux as many nonprofits have moved to remote working arrangements and are considering alternatives to the future of workspace.
In late 2020, in collaboration with Community Vision and the Nonprofit Displacement Project, NCG commissioned a survey to better understand how COVID-19 has impacted the operations and workspace needs of Bay Area nonprofits. NCG engaged Harder+Company Community Research to design and conduct the survey, which explored 3 core areas: how the pandemic has impacted Bay Area nonprofits’ programming and operations; impending eviction and financial concerns; and nonprofits’ future workspace plans. These findings will inform NCG and their partners as they develop strategies to support nonprofits in their current and future workspace needs.

This document analyzes the financial impact of COVID-19 on non-profit organizations. It finds that while total US charitable giving has generally increased over the past decade, 2020 will likely see a decrease similar to 2009 due to the economic effects of the pandemic. The impact varies between non-profits based on their revenue sources, size, finances, donors, and services. Successful strategies from the 2008 recession like leveraging government aid and strengthening messaging may also work now. The document recommends non-profits apply for assistance, focus messaging, expand digital solutions, and communicate individually to mitigate COVID-19 impacts.

Impact Investing Grad School Final PresentationRobert Williams
This presentation was my grad school final which focused on social impact investments in the nonprofit sector. This presentation was meant to serve as a "impact investment for dummies" in order to introduce the topic to those who may be unfamiliar with the intricacies behind impact investing- including myself. Social impact investing is the practice of providing financial opportunities to social causes and to the organizations who address these issues. Social impact investments are treated as loans in which nonprofit organizations are typically required to pay back at low or no interest rates and can also be a tool for individual investors to fund causes and can seek a return on their investment. There are various forms of impact investing tools including program related investments (PRI), mission related investments (MRI), social impact bonds, social impact guarantees, outcome-based contracting, and impact evaluations; all with their own unique qualities and legal classifications. This research explores the practice of social impact investing, how individuals are investing, the organizations who grant these types of investments, the impact and future of the nonprofit sector through these investments, and the rise of social impact investing practices. This research is also meant to shed light on which organizations are most attractive and eligible for social impact investments, the best practices for applying and maintaining these investments, while providing legal and strategic recommendations in the practice of investing for social impact.
This document summarizes the key findings of a study by Boston Consulting Group and The Network on shifts in global work mobility. The study surveyed over 200,000 people across 190 countries. It found that willingness to work abroad has declined significantly since previous studies, driven by nationalism and the COVID-19 pandemic. Canada has replaced the US as the most desirable country for foreign work, while other countries like Australia and Germany have fallen in the rankings, likely due to their pandemic responses. Remote work has also impacted preferences by allowing foreign jobs without relocation.
This document discusses challenges with tracking federal spending at local levels and increasing transparency. It notes that while government agencies collect some data on spending programs, the details are often inconsistent, of varying quality and timeliness, and not comprehensive enough to understand where and how money is spent at local levels. It advocates for a system like USASpending.gov that provides transaction-level details on federal contracts and grants in a searchable, open format to give citizens better visibility into how tax dollars are used.
Summary of findings
2018 VC-backed fintech deals and funding set an annual record: In 2018, - VC-backed fintech companies raised $39.57B across 1,707 deals globally. Deals were up 15% year-over-year while funding surged 120% on the back of 52 mega-rounds ($100M+) worth $24.88B combined.
Fintech is happening on global scale with deals outside of core markets (US, UK, and China) accounting for 39% of deals: Fintech deal hubs are starting to emerge globally. The count of unique fintech startups raising funding topped an annual high of 1,463 companies, and the unique number of investors reached 2,745 boosted by an influx of corporate investors.
Early-stage deals, as a percentage, fell to a 5-year low as investors concentrated bets in perceived winners: Global seed and Series A fintech deals grew 5% on an annual basis in 2018, but fell as a percentage of total deals to 57%. US early-stage deals were flat YOY as investors concentrated their bets in established fintech unicorns.
There are 39 VC-backed fintech unicorns worth a combined $147.37B: Q4'18 saw five new unicorns births (Plaid, Brex, Monzo, DevotedHealth, and Toss) and two in the first month of Q1’19 (N26 and Confluent).

While early-stage deal activity slowed as a percentage of total deals, 16 new fintech unicorns emerged with a combined valuation of $147.37B.

The document summarizes the findings of a study called the Entrepreneur's Census, which surveyed over 300 entrepreneurs across New York, Boston, and Silicon Valley.

- Funders may misunderstand charities due to negative narratives in the media about how charities spend money and operate. However, the public does not have one unified view of charities.

- Individual charities and the sector overall should get this message out through various channels to increase public understanding, which can build knowledge, trust, and support for charities.

BACKGROUND
Detroit Homecoming is a celebration of the city by its former residents. The first Detroit Homecoming event
was in 2014; since then, approximately 800 former residents, referred to as “expats,” have attended
Homecoming. Even in 2020, when most gatherings were canceled due to COVID-19, approximately 20
expats attended for masked tours, outdoor events, and all-virtual speakers and panels. Expats contribute to
the city in many ways, including financial investments, starting and expanding their own local businesses, and
providing local businesses and non-profits with their time and expertise. Some expats have even returned to
the city to live.
This year, Detroit Homecoming will celebrate its tenth anniversary, presenting an opportunity to reflect and
hear from expats about their experiences in the program and their contributions to Detroit, financial and
otherwise. To achieve this, Crain’s invited expats who had attended Detroit Homecoming to respond to a
short electronic survey. Of the 137 expats who started the survey, 107 (78%) completed the survey in full.
Another 8 expats (6%) completed at least 80% of the questions. Within this report, each survey question is
analyzed for all respondents, even if some of those respondents did not answer subsequent questions.
Therefore, the number of respondents analyzed in each question (N) decreases as the survey progresses.
The survey sample was not drawn using statistically representative sampling, so findings from this survey
should not be ascribed to the larger population of expats.
SUMMARY OF KEY FINDINGS
The survey findings indicate that the Detroit Homecoming continues to be impactful for the expats who
participate in the program, as well as the businesses, neighborhoods and residents that benefit from expat
investments of time, money and knowledge. Five key takeaways from the survey include:
1. The program is having a positive influence on expats’ perceptions of Detroit.
2. The expats are contributing to Detroit in myriad ways, not just financially, but with their time and expertise.
3. Expat investments in commercial ventures has been significant. Three large investors responding to the survey
reported investments of more than $86 million combined.
4. Expat investments of time and money are having a major impact on nonprofits, neighborhoods and the city.
5. Expats established or expanded businesses in a variety of sectors, reflecting a range of investment levels.
Fourteen expats reported that they established a new business in the city.
Additional details for these key takeaways are provided in the sections that follow.
DETAILED FINDINGS
The Detroit Homecoming experience has had a positive impact on expats’ perceptions of
Detroit.
