NONPROFIT-GOVERNMENT CONTRACTING

Written by Eduardo Romero, on February 15, 2011

Government-nonprofit contracting was the focus of a recent meeting convened by the Roundtable, Center for Nonprofit Advancement and the Urban Institute’s Center on Nonprofits and Philanthropy in early February.

The Urban Insitute had recently released their national survey, Human Service Nonprofits and Government Collaboration, and the meeting delved into the DC-specific data.

Participants included D.C. Council member Michael Brown, about 20 nonprofit leaders, and representatives from District agencies including the Office of Contracting and Procurement, Child and Family Services Agency, Office of the City Administrator and the Department of Health.

In an open dialogue, the group engaged issues such as late government payments, the complexity of the application and reporting process, and the real cost of providing services from the perspectives of both nonprofit organizations and government.

There was a clear shared interest in addressing these critical issues to improve services to residents throughout the District.

Let us know if you are interested in engaging in future discussions (in DC, MD, or VA).
