Dear Member,<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019ll cut to the chase. This is a devastating time for the arts. We are all trying to figure things out as quickly as we can.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Right now, our focus at the Arts Foundation of Cape Cod is finding as many resources to share that may help for the short- and long-term.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

We are communicating with our local and state legislators to keep arts in the forefront as they roll out disaster relief funds and update unemployment options.\u00a0We also want to make sure we all stay connected as we need to stick together.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what we\u2019d like to share this week:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

If you have not done this already,\u00a0CHECK YOUR FINANCES!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I connected with our fiscal consultant today to get the top 5 things nonprofits should be addressing this week. Here\u2019s what she had to say:\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Review your fixed costs.Don\u2019t be afraid to ask your landlord, copy lease holder, IT contractor, etc. to defer their fees for one to two months. It will benefit them in the end.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

What are nonessential things you can pause today? You don\u2019t need cleaning services, water delivery, etc. if you are not in the office.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

This is a tough one.\u00a0Do you have employees whose jobs are not conducive to remote work?If so, think about connecting them to unemployment insurance as soon as possible. Be open, honest, and keep the channels of communication open \u2014 this is hard for everyone so make sure your employees understand why these decisions are being made.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Contact your legislators via email or phone. The more they understand the pain of the impact, the easier it is for them to advocate. Collectively, our voices carry more weight with those who have access to the funding our industry will need when this is over.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

MOST IMPORTANT: Your cash flow. Work with your Treasurer and\/or Board of Directors to\u00a0forecast your short- (6 weeks) and long-term cash flow.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Your next steps: Review your budget and make any necessary adjustments.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Thank you for taking the time to share<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

We are working on a social media campaign to keep the public engaged with the impact this has had on the arts. Would you consider making and sending us a short video (roughly 30-60 seconds) on why supporting the arts are more important than ever? Send to\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Info@ArtsFoundation.org<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Let us know how we can tag you and\/or your organization.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Stay well. Have hope.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Best,<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
