National Council of Nonprofits Helps Community Organizations Apply Recovery Act

"Because nonprofits play such vital roles in the health and well-being of their local communities, nonprofits will be a key cornerstone for our nation's economic recovery," said Tim Delaney, President & CEO of the National Council of Nonprofits. "We designed these initial Special Reports to make the dense legislative language of the 407-page Act accessible so nonprofit leaders can step forward quickly to determine their course of action. Some may advance their missions by pursuing stimulus grants to spark the recovery of their communities. Others may take a seat at the policy table to make sure that decisions about what gets funded - and what doesn't - are made wisely for the common good."
