Where Does the Money Go? PowerPoint Presentation on the Federal Budget Crisis, at the Northwest Philanthropy Conference


September 01, 2008

By Scott Bittle and Jean Johnson

What do the federal government's financial problems mean for the nonprofit world? How should the philanthropic sector respond to the global financial crisis? How can nonprofits lead in an environment of tight budgets and tough choices? "Where Does the Money Go? Your Guide to the Federal Budget Crisis" authors Scott Bittle and Jean Johnson, both executive vice presidents at Public Agenda, spoke to nonprofit leaders on these topics Sept. 26, 2008, at the annual Philanthropy Northwest conference in Couer d'Alene, Idaho. They argue that philanthropy has a key role to play in helping Americans understand the challenge and make sensible decisions, as well as by making critical investments in priorities that may fall by the wayside in tough financial times.
