City takes action to help nonprofits
Earlier this week New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced a series of initiatives to help nonprofit organizations weather the economic downturn.
Noting that the nonprofit sector employs nearly 500,000 New Yorkers, the mayor said it was important to take what he called “concrete steps to strengthen the sector and make it thrive.”
These measures include an expansion of the city’s loan guarantee program for nonprofits, strategies for reducing costs through increased energy efficiency, and a program for nonprofits to group-purchase goods and services to save money.
How these moves will affect volunteers or organizations’ need for them — if at all — is something we will explore as we continue to document the volunteering scene in Brooklyn.
