Paul J. Luna, president and chief executive officer of Helios Education Foundation, has been named to the Board of Directors of the Arizona Community Foundation. A native Arizonan, Luna is a well-respected community leader with more than 22 years of experience in business and philanthropy.

As President and CEO of Helios Education Foundation, he is responsible for guiding the strategic direction of the growing organization, cultivating strong community relationships and initiating strategic partnerships in Arizona and Florida on behalf of the Foundation. Prior to his role at Helios, Luna served as president of Valley of the Sun United Way, where he led a community-wide fund-raising effort approaching $50 million.

The Alliance of Arizona Nonprofits released the results of its statewide survey about the impact of the recession on nonprofits, and it shows that organizations suffered significant losses of revenues in 2009, while at the same time 80% of nonprofits saw rising demand for their services. Six out of ten nonprofits reported a loss of revenues in 2009. The total average decrease in their income was 22.3%. Of all sources of funding for nonprofits, government funding dropped the most, down by 25%. This is expected to continue in 2010, as state and local governments slash programs and services that are provided through contracts with nonprofits as service providers. One positive sign of the resilience of these community based organizations was the fact that fewer nonprofit employees were laid off in 2009 than leaders had expected in response to an early 2009 survey. Based upon an extrapolation from the survey population, the Alliance estimates that no more than 3,500 nonprofit employees were given pink slips in 2009. That is a lower ratio than private sector job losses. However, some employees had hours reduced or were required to take furlough days in 2009.

Other findings from the December 2009 survey:

• 64% of organizations reduced their 2010 budgets to respond to cuts
• One half of nonprofits had to tap reserves in 2009 to maintain operations
• Only 13% of nonprofits took on debt in 2009
• 25% of nonprofits experienced late payments on contracts, such as contracts with government agencies
• 22% of organizations are exploring or considering mergers or joint ventures with other nonprofits.

The Alliance conducted the statewide survey of its nonprofit membership in December. The respondents largely mirror the diversity of the sector, in terms of the types of services provided by organizations, the size of organizations and their locations around the state. Therefore, the Alliance believes the results are largely reflective of the nonprofit sector as a whole. A full copy of the report, Community Cornerstones: Arizona Nonprofits Ride Out the Economic Storm, is available on the Alliance Web site.
