The Chronicle of Philanthropy covered an Urban Institute event titled “What’s Ahead for Civil Society?” on Election Day. One panelist said that nonprofits need to “convince the new president [who was, at that time, not yet elected] and Congress to bolster the ability of charities to tackle the nation’s social problems” in light of the economic crisis.
Another panelist speculated that Obama’s tax proposals may help increase charitable giving. The Chronicle earlier profiled the nonprofit and philanthropy positions of the candidates; read more about Obama.
Updates: On Thursday, the Chronicle of Philanthropy posted a new story about what charities can expect under President Obama. Next week’s live chat will be a discussion of what the results mean for nonprofits and foundations. Submit a question now or check back Tuesday at 11 a.m. Central.
Join the conversation: How should the nonprofit world advise President-Elect Obama? Add your thoughts here or at philanthropy.com (the text at that link was written last week, to solicit advice no matter which candidate won, but the comment section is still open).
