The Certainty of The Nonprofit Sector

Posted By Oklahoma Center for Nonprofits, Monday, April 10, 2023
Will another bank fail? Will the Fed raise interest rates again? Will the economy dip into a recession? Uncertainty is running at a fever pitch. There is not much in our world that we can rely on anymore, which can be pretty disconcerting; however, nonprofits remain steadfast. The sector is the one place all Oklahomans can continuously turn, regardless of the circumstances, for comfort, assistance, entertainment or whatever needs they may have. Oklahoma’s nonprofit sector has stood the test of time – plus several natural disasters, a terrorist attack and a worldwide pandemic. Its strength and resiliency is forged from the dedication of the more than 85,000 Oklahomans who work in the sector. When others seek shelter, they run to the frontlines. During disasters, they look to provide calm. When the world shuts down, they go to work. When there is a need, Oklahoma nonprofits step up. The world might waver, but our sector does not. Nonprofits see our increasingly uncertain world as another opportunity for us to come together and do what we do best – care for our communities. When COVID-19 paralyzed the world, Oklahoma nonprofit leaders rallied together. We let one another know about funding opportunities, helped each other with similar issues and came together to solve problems as a team. The same will happen as we navigate the world’s current uncertainty. No doubt there will be missteps along the way, but the rocky path with be pathed with possibilities. Our heightened sense of problem-solving will lead to new breakthroughs, unique insights and game-changing innovations. The only thing that seems certain about our future is that it will be filled unknowns. Knowing this, I find great comfort in the fact that our state has one of the strongest, most resilient nonprofit sectors in the world. That is something of which I can be certain.
