2024 Symposium on Public Policy for Nonprofits

Friday, September 20, 2024 (1:00 PM - 4:00 PM) (EDT)

Description


Nonprofit Civic Infrastructure: A Recipe for a Thriving Nation 

The Association for Research on Nonprofit Organizations and Voluntary Action (ARNOVA)Independent Sector, and Nonprofit Policy Forum invite you to the 13th Symposium on Public Policy for Nonprofits. This year’s symposium will focus on surfacing promising public policy recommendations to strengthen the nonprofit sector and philanthropy.

A strong nonprofit sector that is healthy, trusted, and equitable is essential to building a nation in which all people thrive and democracy flourishes. In turn, a strong nonprofit sector is sustained by a robust infrastructure, or support system, that elevates the sector’s voice; works to ensure healthy and equitable nonprofit organizations; and secures an accommodating environment for nonprofit activity. Building this supportive infrastructure involves putting in place public policies that advance nonprofit representation in government, build nonprofits’ capacity to advance their missions and employ equitable practices, and establish an enabling environment that facilitates the important work of nonprofits. This year’s Symposium on Public Policy for Nonprofits will feature researchers and practitioners exploring public policies at the federal, state, and local levels that will help to fortify the nonprofit infrastructure which underpins a strong nonprofit sector and a healthy society which serves all people.
