'Nonprofit Primary' Gaining Interest from Candidates
More presidential candidates appear to be ready for their turn on the hot seat in the Nonprofit Congress’ Nonprofit Primary Project, according to Rosetta Thurman of the Perspectives from the Pipeline blog.
The effort by Nonprofit Congress (a program of the National Council of Nonprofit Associations) is designed to give nonprofit leaders a chance to directly question people running for the nation’s highest office.
Invitations have been extended to all major declared candidates.
Ms. Thurman, who is keen on the primary’s potential to raise the nonprofit world’s profile with lawmakers, writes, “The best outcome, which is indeed a long-term one, is that more public officials understand the impact, contributions, and expertise of the nonprofit sector in improving communities, causing more public support of nonprofits and more influence in the policy process.”
