    The nonprofit sector today is under deep strain — the work feels more urgent than ever, and the way forward is anything but simple.

    Join us for the forum Making the Case for Investments in Data to learn from Jacqueline La Gamma of Northwell Health, Lindsey Nadeau of UNICEF USA, and Kristin Richardson of the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation as they share proven ways to persuade leaders to invest in data tools and analysis. They’ll explain how to start out small and build up to bigger budgets over time, and they’ll offer tips on how to demonstrate return on investments.

Nonprofit News From Elsewhere Online

A federal judge has rejected a bid by the Trump administration and a conservative legal nonprofit to block an Illinois law that requires certain nonprofits to disclose aggregate information on the race, gender, and sexual orientation of their boards of directors. The judge ruled that conservative-litigation nonprofit leader Edward Blum’s American Alliance for Equal Rights lacked standing because the anonymous nonprofits it represented are not required “to post anything online about their board’s demographics if they never received such information.” Disclosure by board members is voluntary under the law.
