Beyond Charity Cover

What difference do nonprofits make? What’s the “value proposition” of the region’s nonprofit sector? Impact! Our everyday experience is that nonprofits raise the quality of life for all of us in the region, and that nonprofits are the lifeline for our most vulnerable neighbors. But how well do we measure and communicate our impact?  As leaders in the nonprofit sector, we need to work together to better “make the case” about the impact that nonprofits make. We’d like to improve how well leaders in government and business and the media understand the contributions of the sector. (Part of this work is funded by the World Bank's Community Outreach program.)
