Cause Effective has weathered many storms in partnership with nonprofit organizations. We took a leading role in helping New York’s nonprofits recover during and through the aftermath of 9/11, the crash of 2008, and Hurricane Sandy.

Every day nonprofit leaders are making difficult programmatic and staffing decisions that will have an immediate and long-term impact. Cause Effective is working with nonprofits to help them pivot and identify key opportunities to evolve their fundraising efforts to sustain their important work during this difficult time.
