Need Help, Too Busy

I am a mentor for several small nonprofit art's organizations throughout the country. I signed up to mentor these organizations through a larger initiative. I was assigned three nonprofits (one in San Francisco, one in Chicago and one in Napa Valley) so far, each has been too busy to really connect.

This goes back to one of my earlier posts about being too busy to plan. I sense that these nonprofits are struggling just to make payroll. They want help (which is why they signed up), but they don't have time to make changes. They are in crisis mode! I understand this.

So, what will it take for these nonprofits to set aside time and think about ways to change and survive during this downturn...before it's too late?
