Reformulating the 2009 Nonprofit Congress
In 2007 the National Council of Nonprofits decided to convene the national meeting portion of the 2009 Nonprofit Congress in New Orleans. Since then, our nation's economy has collapsed, hurting nonprofits and the communities we serve. This brutal economic storm, and the opportunity for significant change that is before us, challenges us all to embark on new, high-impact strategies that are bold, smart, efficient, and effective. Now is the time to reinforce our sector's value to our elected officials. Therefore, we have strategically reformulated our approach for the 2009 Nonprofit Congress. Learn more.
National Council of Nonprofits teams with Musicians for a Cause
As the lifeblood of America’s communities, nonprofits help the poor, feed the hungry, care for the elderly, shelter the homeless, and more. The National Council of Nonprofits acts as their backbone, giving them the strength to carry out their missions with a unified voice. Musicians for a Cause will help channel that voice into a song.
Musicians for a Cause has selected the New York Songwriters Circle as its affiliate to provide a song in support of the National Council of Nonprofits. The New York Songwriters Circle will draw together a collaborative effort of top songwriters to provide music that brings life to the work done by nonprofit organizations nationwide. For more information on this partnership, contact us.
