Meyer Foundation Releases Report on Outsourcing Back-Office Services in Small Nonprofits

September 9, 2009

"Outsourcing Back-Office Services in Small Nonprofits: Pitfalls and Possibilities," is based on a survey of grantees of the Foundation, interviews with grantmakers, consultants, and a range of back-office service providers, and a review of current literature on the subject. The goal for the collaboration was to survey and identify alternative back-office services that could strengthen operations, relieve the pressures on executive directors, and lead to greater efficiencies, particularly in this difficult economic climate.
