Final Paper Idea

How is the nonprofit sector coping with the current recession?

This is the question that I have decided to research for my final paper. I chose this question because as I have said many times before this entire class is a huge learning experience for me and I feel like I know very little about the recession, other than that we are in one, and I want to not only learn more about the nonprofit sector but also the recession. I hope through this paper I gain a better understanding of the recession, as well as learn about the true effects it is having on our society and different sectors like the nonprofit. Also, when beginning a little bit of the research with this question, I read some articles and they really caught my attention and I was really interested in the topics they were discussing. This topic also seems very easily relatable to my everyday life and I excited to add some of my own personal insight and experiences with this, once I gain some more knowledge of the subject and have a true understanding of how the recession and nonprofit sector 'relate'.
