PHILANTHROPY NEWS DIGEST
Entitled "The Nonprofit Contribution to Civic
Participation and Advocacy," the draft statement is the
result of discussions by the Institute's Nonprofit Sector Strategy Group. The
pamphlet assesses how well nonprofits are performing their
advocacy functions and makes recommendations for
strengthening activities in this area.
The group's recommendations for next steps include
assessing the effect of existing laws and regulations on
nonprofit advocacy; expanding the resource base for
advocacy; and increasing support for the advocacy function
within nonprofit organizations.
The pamphlet, which also includes an introduction to the
work of NSSG, is available online at
http://www.aspeninstitute.org/nppf/nssg.pdf (19 pages, PDF format), or by contacting Giulia Campanaro at (202)
