Shifting the Narrative Part II: A Housing Justice Community of Practice

Designed specifically for nonprofit and human services staff, you will explore how power dynamics, personal biases, and ongoing self-critique shape the care and advocacy we deliver to our communities every day.

National Council of Nonprofits | A Call to Action: Urge Congress to Block Proposal to Overhaul and Politicize Federal Grants

When Congress returns to Washington after the mid-term elections, it will have just four legislative weeks to decide whether to continue to block the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) from finalizing and implementing a government-wide proposal to overhaul and politicize federal grantmaking. If implemented, the proposal would create significant financial risk and instability for federal grantees, making it more difficult to provide vital services to communities.

Learn more and find opportunities to take action from the National Council of Nonprofits, including a sign-on letter and Day of Action on November 10!

Maternity Care Coalition | Organizational Sign-On Opportunity

Research consistently shows that tax breaks for families with children reduce child poverty and improve economic stability; enhance child health, education and long-term outcomes; and support workforce participation by helping parents afford the costs of raising children.

Pennsylvania currently lacks a dedicated, state child tax credit, placing families at a disadvantage compared to the 17 states that have already adopted similar policies. Supporting families is an investment in Pennsylvania’s future. A state child tax credit is a proven, effective policy that will strengthen our communities and promote economic opportunity for all.

Have your organization sign on to support a refundable state child tax credit for families with children who are less than six years old. This proposal, introduced by Representative Tina Davis, would create a refundable credit, and would include a phase-out for higher-income households to ensure that the most benefit will go to those with the most need. Learn more about this proposal here.
