Nonprofits and the
Fiscal Year 2011 Budget
The federal budget lays out priorities for the country, determining not only programs and services at the federal level, but also shaping those from state and local governments. Because nonprofits partner with government in areas such as human and social services, the arts, and education, the budget also profoundly affects our sector's ability to serve our communities. See IS President Diana Aviv's statement about the challenges in the upcoming budget, learn about the 2011 budget, and register for a webinar analyzing President Obama's plan.
