Can Uncle Sam Help the Nonprofit Sector? Some Think So. Me, Not So Much.

by Tom Durso on August 21st, 2008

News item:

Social entrepreneurs are clamoring for a realignment of the way the federal government and nonprofit groups work together to maximize the impact of American generosity.

The Washington Post

What a colossally bad idea.

For all of the flaws the nonprofit sector has, in most cases the organizations comprising it have a clear idea of whom they wish to help and how.

When was the last time the federal government could make such a statement? Could it ever?

The whims of politics, the inevitable ethical vagaries, the inability to get anything worthwhile done — is this really what nonprofits seek to get in bed with? Such a partnership would hamper, not enhance, the sector’s ability to fulfill its mission. | 501(c)
