While a planned transition to a remote workforce would typically be staged over time, one may need to be implemented quickly in this scenario. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because the current situation with COVID-19 is changing so rapidly, the resources we&#8217;re providing below (<em>most of which are free<\/em>) are options that can be implemented relatively quickly, with little to no external IT support needed to do so and with a focus on remote communications and information sharing solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, there are many types of nonprofits that are not able to implement work-from-home policies due to the nature of their work, including museums, shelters, and health care providers. But if you are part of an organisation that is able to continue to operate if your staff are all working remotely from home, we hope that what follows is of use to you and your nonprofit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Not a member of TechSoup?
