What is the current relationship between government and nonprofits? How has it evolved over time? Where might it be headed? Join Adam Bratton, Executive Director of the Nonprofit Partnership, as he traces the historical roots of the collaboration between government and nonprofits – from early charitable efforts to the development of the modern social safety net. Learn how key policy and regulatory milestones have shaped today's nonprofit landscape. Using current examples, Bratton will highlight how nonprofits fill critical gaps in areas like poverty, healthcare, and housing, often complementing government programs. He'll also examine current events, including regulatory changes, shifting funding priorities, and how nonprofits respond to emerging crises. Gain a deeper understanding of this vital, yet often overlooked, partnership.

Event hosted by the Jefferson Educational Society.

The Nonprofit Partnership's offices at The Susan Hirt Hagen Center for Transformational Philanthropy are open Monday through Friday, 8:30 AM - 4:30 PM.
