The Nonprofit Sector and Community Solutions Act, sponsored by Representative Betty McCollum, seeks to transform the way government thinks about and partners with the nonprofit community across the country. We see this legislation as an important part of the social innovation and America Forward policy agenda, and are pleased to be partnering with leading nonprofit sector organizations in support of the legislation.

With rare exceptions, the nonprofit sector is invisible to the federal government. We have entire agencies devoted to supporting small business, trade, commerce, and other industries. And yet, the nonprofit sector is just as vital to our economy, employing one out of ten individuals and delivering critical human, social, educational, and cultural services. Innovation in the social sector is as important as it is in the business world. This legislation will help the federal government do a better job supporting innovation in this realm.
