  • The Nonprofit Congress -

    The Nonprofit Congress (Congress) is an exciting two-year initiative to unite the nonprofit sector and create a common vision and voice for all charitable nonprofits.

    The goal of the Congress is to create an action platform for the nonprofit sector to influence the direction of America’s future – socially, culturally, politically, and spiritually.  Specifically, we intend to:

    • Define the values and issues that unite nonprofits.
    • Start a mass movement of charitable organizations to greatly enhance our continued impact and create a more caring America.
    • Restore caring social connectivity to communities – a value that is as essential to a vibrant society as prosperity and security.
    • Join together to help guide our political leaders in the creation of humane policies and laws for America.

    Read more about the goals, strategies, upcoming events, and how you can help the Congress unite the nonprofit sector.
