If any of my followers (or people you know) have worked the polls for US elections and are willing to be interviewed or surveyed, please send me a message. This is for work on my dissertation. Thanks in advance!

I'm sad to hear of the passing of Ryan Kiesel. We lost a champion for human rights.

My classes doubled in size compared to last semester. I am excited to see more interest in nonprofits as a career.

headline complains that McKenzies Scott donations to nonprofits are not generating long term sustainability

headline complains that McKenzies Scott donations to nonprofits are not generating long term sustainability

The idea that a nonprofit mission - which exists in the nonprofit sector *because* it is not economically viable - should be sustainable is silly. Nonprofits divert lots of resources explaining how they will *solve* problems that no-one really believes are solvable, but can still be usefully treated

US House passes measure that could punish nonprofits Treasury Department decides are β€˜terrorist’ Organizations representing nonprofits have condemned this bill, which critics see as a threat to President-elect Donald Trump’s opponents.

A professor of nonprofit management & policy explains how HR 9495 is part of a strategy to preempt opposition to GOP policies & encourage self-censorship.

45 will have narrow majorities in both chambers, so a similar bill could come across his desk after being reintroduced in the next Congress.

The non-profit shutdown bill is getting another run from the House this week. Scheduled to go before the House Rules Committee today, likely for a floor vote on Wednesday.

Make sure your reps know exactly how dangerous this is.
