Report Outlines Problems With Government Contracts for Nonprofits

Nonprofit groups are facing a growing wave of problems with the way the government processes and awards contracts that are supposed to help these groups provide services to the needy, according to a new report by the National Council of Nonprofits.

In the report—“Costs, Complexification, and Crisis: Government’s Human Services Contracting 'System’ Hurts Everyone”—the council says these problems have been exacerbated by the bad economy.
