Reports Released on Benefits of Nonprofits to U.S. Communities

"While high profile commentators decry 'community organizing,' this report clearly demonstrates that such activity delivers enormous benefits to communities. On every issue of concern to residents of Los Angeles County, from clean air to immigration, from equality to education, foundation support for community-based activist organizations yields positive results," said Aaron Dorfman, executive director of NCRP. "Foundation support turns indifference into democracy and the benefits of a thriving democracy are indeed substantial."
