The Foraker Group

The National Council of Nonprofits has announced it 2015 public policy agenda, which focuses on six broad categories: tax policy, budget and spending, the economy, public-private collaborations, advocacy rights, and public accountability. You can read more on the agenda here.

The council suggests several ways organizations can use items from its agenda, including:

• Sharing it with members of your board or public policy committee
• Using the information to augment your own public policy agenda
• Using it as a starting point for your own agenda if you haven’t developed one

Foraker’s public policy committee will present its recommended agenda to the Governance Board at the annual meeting on January 15. We’ll report on the board’s action here on the blog and in the February newsletter.
