HEARD IT FROM A YOUTH WORKER

The Public Service Loan Forgiveness program is actually pretty cool. You enroll in the program, then make 120 payments while full-time employed at a nonprofit, and the rest of your student loans are forgiven. And, you can count payments you made from October 2007. Heck, you probably have a bunch of credits toward the 120 payments right now. Go check. Details here. This is a great sign that the government and society are recognizing the importance of having people join and stay in the nonprofit sector.

Advocacy Training for Nonprofit Staff and Board Members

Grand Rapids, MI

We all know the importance of getting involved to make a difference - it's part of our DNA. This couldn't apply more than when we are talking about laws, regulation, and public policies that affect the charitable nonprofit community and their missions. Every charitable nonprofit can and should make its voice heard on issues that are important to its mission and to the people or cause they serve.

Michigan Nonprofit Association and Johnson Center for Philanthropy invite you and your board members to attend 4 training sessions to enhance your advocacy efforts.
