Why Are Nonprofits AWOL in Budget Fight? - Opinion - The Chronicle of Philanthropy- Connecting the nonprofit world with news, jobs, and ideas: "Nonprofits must recognize that they remain on the sidelines at their peril. If federal deficits continue to spiral out of control, nonprofits face a future of trying to do more and more with less and less, as a weakening economy exacerbates social ills and reduces both government aid and private giving.
Staying on the sidelines also gives the lie to lofty civil-society rhetoric about nonprofits’ role as the bedrock of the democratic process. Our democracy is in crisis. Surely the leaders of civil society have a duty to lead citizens in a conversation about fixing the problem."
