Wisconsin Nonprofits Association Joins Fellow Nonprofit Leaders in Message to President & Congress:
CHARITIES ARE READY TO HELP
Unprecedented Declaration calls for renewing America’s compact with its “citizen sector.”
In an unprecedented appeal to America’s public and private leadership and to the American people, leaders of organizations representing tens of thousands of American nonprofit organizations today called for a reinvigorated and empowered partnership between government and the nonprofit, or “citizen sector,” to address our country’s social, economic, and environmental problems and improve the quality of community life.
The nonprofit leaders issued a Declaration entitled, “Forward Together: Empowering America’s Citizen Sector for the Change We Need,” that calls on the nation’s governments and businesses to join with its citizen sector for a renewed “partnership in public service.” Click here to read the entire document

The second Special Report- Federal Economic Stimulus Legislation: Nonprofit Grant Opportunities- focuses on grant information, tips, and considerations - including that the new federal stimulus package offers some grant opportunities, but is not a universal remedy for everyone.

Recommendations to the Presidential Transition Team
Wisconsin Nonprofits Association was asked to provide through our national organization National Council of Nonprofits, (NCN) to President Elect Obama's transition team with policy recommendations from the nonprofit perspective. We are delighted to share the "Recommendations to the Presidential Transition Team" submitted by the National Council of Nonprofits. WNA members are automatically also members of the National Council of Nonprofits. So we write to share these recommendations, the following background and important analysis with you.
The package responds to the Transition Team's request for a one-page summary about specific items, plus it adds several one-page explanations to provide important background.
Please share the package with your staff members, board members, and public policy committee members because it offers key policy analysis and detail about possible new programs. No proposed policy packet ever gets 100% support, especially within a diverse membership organization that spans a state or the nation, so you may disagree with a particular item among the 27 specific recommendations, but the package as a whole serves as a great resource for several issues and shows how we can tell our story.
Your membership in WNA means we all have a greater voice, both in Madison and in DC. As noted on page 11 of the package, when the American people come together through nonprofits, we can amplify our voices. Plus, when we as nonprofits come together through WNA and then through the National Council of Nonprofits, we amplify the voices of nonprofits and the people we serve.
