Proposals Due April 15, 2024 |
The Association for Research on Nonprofit Organizations and Voluntary Action (ARNOVA), Independent Sector, and Nonprofit Policy Forum invite proposals for the 13th annual Symposium on Public Policy for Nonprofits, which will focus on surfacing promising public policy recommendations to strengthen the nonprofit sector and philanthropy.
Content themeNonprofit Civic Infrastructure: A Recipe for a Thriving NationProposals should contain short 600-word, preliminary descriptions of papers they would like to present at the September event. The final papers, due August 23, 2024, for distribution to symposium participants, would then be longer 2,000-4,000-word research or experience-based articles, essays, case studies, or commentaries that will be discussed at the symposium. • Representation and Voice
• Healthy and Equitable Organizations
• Supportive Environment for Nonprofit Activity
Policy recommendations may relate to public policy at the federal, state, or local levels. However, policies should focus on the nonprofit sector and/or philanthropy as a whole or broad swaths of these, and not just on a particular nonprofit subfield such as health, human services, or the arts.
Proposals are due on April 15 and should be submitted below. Submissions should include the following in a combined PDF document:
All proposals will be reviewed by the symposium planning committee’s review panel, composed of academic and practitioner reviewers. Authors will be notified in early June 2024 of their invitation to the online policy symposium that will be convened on September 20, 2024, and which is co-sponsored by ARNOVA, Independent Sector, and Nonprofit Policy Forum. Final papers for presentation at the symposium are due by August 23, 2024. | |||

Applicants who are selected to present at the September symposium will receive honoraria of $250. The versions of the papers presented at the symposium can be revised by authors and then submitted by February 3, 2025, for review for possible publication as research articles, research notes, policy briefs, commentaries, or other formats in the journal Nonprofit Policy Forum in a special issue devoted to papers from the Symposium on Public Policy for Nonprofits (see the Nonprofit Policy Forum website for details about the process for submitting to the journal). Authors may also be invited to take part in a session at the ARNOVA annual conference in Washington, DC, November 21-23, 2024, although authors interested in participating will need to cover their own expenses.
