The Great Pivot of 2020: Lessons from the Center for Development & Learning

Go Beyond Fundraising: The Podcast for Nonprofits

In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic challenged nonprofit organizations to act quickly and make bold decisions to face abrupt economic and logistical changes. We're kicking off a series of interviews with fundraising practitioners who navigated the "big pivot" with poise. The Center for Development and Learning is a Louisiana-based nonprofit organization that provides practical knowledge and strategies devised and delivered by teachers to assist in those critical classroom moments when teachers are faced with the reality of failing students. In this episode, Daniel Ross, Director, Client Solutions at Pursuant, interviewed Sarah Cortell Vandersypen, CFRE, Vice President of Advancement and Strategy for the Center for Development and Learning. Sarah and Daniel discussed how CDL continued to resource its incredibly vital mission despite the challenges all organizations had to confront last year.
