At the start of the COVID‐19 pandemic, as organizations across the country had to shift their operations to the digital realm because of social distancing restrictions, a common fear among nonprofits was that the lack of in‐person, face‐to‐face contact would hamper their organization's management. Nonprofits have been slow to adopt the kinds of digital technologies that they were now having to rely on out of necessity—especially virtual meeting platforms, online file‐sharing and related tech solutions that made it possible for staff, leadership and boards to interface, share ideas and strategize on how to keep their operations going.
