Paul, Weiss Launches Online Coronavirus Relief Center to Help Those Impacted Financially by Pandemic
Dear colleagues and friends,
In recent days, the coronavirus has continued to spread, oil prices have plummeted, and the stock market has been volatile as a result of several economic factors. In uncertain times like these, nonprofit leaders are considering how these events
affect their organizations and those they serve. The Sterling team has developed a short paper about these events and their potential impact on the nonprofit sector:
https://sterlingnonprofits.com/client_news/nonprofit-impact-report/
Our analysis is informed by other catastrophic events we have weathered with our nonprofit clients over time—from 9/11 to the collapse of Enron, volatility of oil prices, the 2008–09 recession, Hurricane Harvey, and more. Our paper also includes recommendations that we hope you will find interesting and useful as you move forward with your work in the weeks and months ahead.
We are committed to the success of nonprofits in Houston and beyond, and we stand with you. We look forward to your feedback.
Your Sterling Team
