Public Policy Update: What We're Working on to Protect Nonprofits
In recent months, the Massachusetts Nonprofit Network has tracked bills at the State House that would restrict nonprofits' ability to operate. The bills would change state law regarding compensation, damages in court cases, and payments in lieu of taxes. MNN has urged legislators not to pass those bills.
Our work has included testimony at public hearings, meetings with legislators, follow-up with key staffers and coordination with other associations. MNN's advocacy has highlighted the extensive oversight that nonprofits are already subjected to, and their legal status based on their dedication to the common good.

Nonprofit 411: Five Tips on Integrating Your Nonprofits' Values into Your HR Practices
We know one of the things that keeps nonprofit managers awake at night
are concerns about
personnel. In the social sector, employees are an organization's greatest asset. Nonprofit leaders naturally want to get that critical piece of their work right. But this can be particularly tricky in smaller organizations that don't have a designated human resources manager on staff. Often HR functions are spread out among numerous positions - someone in the finance office does payroll, maybe the office manager posts open positions and orients new employees, and the executive director inevitably handles personnel issues. And this works well enough... until it doesn't.
