The commentary was about pushing back on proposed federal certification changes that threaten nonprofit organizations with sweeping new legal and financial risk. You can read the op-ed here.
That conversation continued at a recent Policy in Practice panel hosted by the Civic Federation, where Lauren was joined by Emily Sweet of Jewish United Fund and Mark Ishaug of Thresholds. Together, they discussed how nonprofits are meeting this moment despite growing instability, and the ways corporations, philanthropy, and leaders across state governments can help support the sector and the communities depending on it every day. Thank you to the Civic Federation for hosting this event and to all of our incredible partners for your continued collaboration and advocacy in this critical time.
