Fundraising Friday: Opportunities & Challenges for Nonprofits in State & Federal Public Policy
Over the past few months, several
major bills are moving through the state and federal levels, including the FY26
budget, the Governor’s Energy Affordability Bill and Environmental Bond Bill,
as well as the federal reconciliation package. On top of this, the state
legislature has recently adopted new rules that are designed to impact the
speed at which bills move forward and provide new transparency into the
legislative process.
Join us and our guest
Norman
Abbott, a Senior Government Affairs Specialist from the
Metropolitan Regional Planning Council, to learn
more about these bills, what new and legacy funding sources may be expanded or
impacted, and what these bills might mean for your nonprofit.
Fundraising Fridays are monthly hour-long “coffee talks” facilitated by thought leaders from the social sector. These discussion groups, held at 9:00 am the first Friday of each month, are free and open to any and all nonprofit professionals and volunteers interested in fundraising and development issues (EDs, DDs, development staff, volunteer leaders, consultants, etc.). Participants will come away with a greater understanding of the topic at hand and connections to nonprofit peers who share similar interests and concerns.
