News for Nonprofits – Volunteers more likely to find work

Description

Abstract: This issue’s “News for Nonprofits” describes a government 10-year study which found that unemployed individuals who volunteer over the next year are 27% more likely to find jobs by year end than those who don’t; a free widget that enables donors to recommend grants from their donor-advised funds using the application found on a nonprofit’s website; and an “optional expedited process” for certain Section 501(c)(4) applicants in the wake of charges that the IRS used inappropriate criteria to review “Tea Party” and other organizations applying for tax-exempt status based on their names or policy positions.
