Orange County Community Resilience Fund Evaluation Report
13
The pandemic has had a significant effect on Orange County's nonprofit organizations, which have
been faced with decreased revenue and unanticipated costs at a time when the demand for their
services was increasing. Most nonprofits faced this challenge with a spirit of innovation, adapting their
service delivery and communication to a remote environment while maintain their morale. However,
as the pandemic continues, many are starting to feel less secure and worried about their continued
survival.
