Expert calls for nonprofits to unite to flex their economic and social muscle - KansasCity.com

Expert calls for nonprofits to unite to flex their economic and social muscle - KansasCity.com: "t’s time for that to change, starting with strong lobbying efforts in city halls, statehouses and the U.S. Capitol, says Robert Egger, director of the V3 Campaign and an expert in nonprofit management.

Egger’s address Thursday at the Philanthropy Midwest Conference in Overland Park was a call to move the nonprofit sector beyond practicing charity to make its economic and social power known."

Hi Reed,

I agree with your blog that it is important for nonprofits to unite. I believe the nonprofit sector is quite fragmented, in comparison to the for profit sector, which has made it more difficult to influence policies and social problem.

One way of addressing this problem is to pool donation dollars to support top performing nonprofits. I would like to invite you to visit the nonprofit organization I'm working for called Philanthropedia at http://myphilanthropedia.org, where we consolidated 231 expert opinions to identify top performing nonprofits in different social areas for donors to support.

Warm Regards,
Dawn
