The Nonprofit Sector and Philanthropy Program of the Aspen Institute recently released a major report highlighting ten policy innovations for the nonprofit and social sector. According to Aspen, “This report puts together in one place the proposals of leading thinkers in the field who are working to address social problems and improve the lives of those in need through improved nonprofit-government policies. We believe these ideas, if implemented, would go a long way towards strengthening nonprofit organizations and communities throughout the United States.”
The good news for us is that included in this list are several that America Forward has put forward or that are based on the work of America Forward partners, including: the creation of a Social Investment Fund Network, the creation of a Small Business Administration for nonprofits, expanding recruitment and retention of a new generation of leaders for the nonprofit sector, making a Summer of Service a rite of passage for every middle school student in their transition to high school, and the development of a National Music Service Corps.
