EVENT

Nonprofit Modernization Act

Wednesday, November 16, 2022
1:00-2:00pm
DESCRIPTION:

The Nonprofit Modernization Act is a legislative path to systemically fix underpayment, reduce administrative burden and raise wages in community-based nonprofits. 

Many community based organizations that foundations support have significant contracts with government entities, which has grown during COVID. Whether the work is vaccine rollout, outreach to marginalized community members, after school programming, etc., grantees report frustrating experiences that include delayed reimbursements, low admin rates, unnecessarily complex processes especially for a sector that is undervalued and underpaid.   

Northwest Health Foundation and Nonprofit Association of Oregon (NAO) have assembled a campaign team of individuals who manage, track and negotiate state service contracts to explore and lead a legislative solution to these issues, hopefully in the 2023 legislative session. 

Come learn more about the proposed Nonprofit Modernization Act and what the current plans are to mitigate these challenges for our nonprofit and community partners. Feel free to also share your stories from grantees about frustrating government contracting experiences.
