US charities too understaffed to effectively deliver programs

A new US survey found that 40% of charities feel they are too understaffed to effectively deliver their programs and services. Also, approximately one in three had reduced staff in recent months. Additionally, nearly 40% had instituted a salary freeze, 36% had not filled open positions, about 25% had increased the number of hours they expected employees to work, and another 25% had reduced or cut benefits. -- Johns Hopkins Center for Civil Society Studies, July 2010
