What New York's weather means for nonprofits
Book walks, runs and outdoor volunteer days for May to September, the only stretch with average highs of 70°F or more; outside that window, participant shirts should be long-sleeve. With January averaging a high of 40°F, a midweight crewneck or hoodie gets worn all winter, which makes it a dependable year-end gift for donors and long-serving volunteers. About 50 inches of rain and melted snow a year means a spring or fall event can turn wet and cold at once, so a poly-blend volunteer hoodie that dries faster than heavy cotton is worth the upgrade. About 30 inches of snow fall in a typical winter, so plan winter fundraisers for indoor venues and save the outdoor walk for the snow-free months. About 67 nights a year fall to 32°F or below, so a volunteer crew that sets up before sunrise in winter should have a beanie and a layer over the event tee.
