Breaking NewsNonprofits In The NewsNew JobsPoints Of View On Wednesday, January 18, 2012, Governor Cuomo signed an Executive Order to establish limits on state-funded administrative costs and executive compensation in an effort to curb “abuses in executive compensation and administrative costs and ensure that taxpayer dollars are used first and foremost to help New Yorkers in need.” In these times when the demand for services in New York is growing at a pace faster than organizations can meet, there needs to be a focus on and change in how government-funded service providers operate.

Strong programs provide opportunities for children and youth to have stimulating experiences that promote growth and enable parents to work. Nationally, nearly 7 million children participate. In New York City, in the Out of School Time (OST) initiative alone, nearly 55,000 children and youth have participated in 2011. Other NYC after school programs: Beacon Centers, Advantage After School, 21st Century Learning Centers and others.See Other Research Fundraising For many nonprofits, the times feel desperate: stories abound of 20%, even 40% cuts, because long-time funders can no longer be counted upon. More is still to come, as New York and other states prepare to hack away at budget gaps and the flow of Federal stimulus money dries up.NYNP BooksFailed to get Items, check your parameters! |
