How New Department of Labor
Rules
Effect Your Organization
|
|
What are the new Department of Labor rules and how do they impact the nonprofit community?
Once upon a time there was a nonprofit in Missouri. This nonprofit had a $2M budget and many full-time salaried employees making an average salary of $35,000 each. The nonprofit held many events in the summer, including performances and fundraisers. The happy employees willingly worked 50-60 hours each week to deliver the mission and achieve successful fundraisers.
Then one day the Department of Labor issued final rules relating to overtime and the nonprofit world was never to be the same.....
Such is the world nonprofits will live in effective December 1, 2016. A world where they will very likely be required to pay overtime to employees if they do not understand the new rules and modify the structure of employee pay or work expectations.

Shared Spaces at Nonprofit Leadership Alliance
|
|
The Nonprofit Leadership Alliance has been building a talent pipeline for nearly 70 years. Since 1948, the Alliance has been working to increase its impact in the nonprofit sector by offering its nationally recognized credential, the Certified Nonprofit Professional or CNP.
The Nonprofit Leadership Alliance is headquartered in Kansas City, Missouri for many reasons. Arguably, the main reason is the founder, H. Roe Bartle - a Kansas City icon, former Mayor and Boy Scout leader. Bartle thrived in the Kansas City community and made a conscious effort to build a solid foundation for the local sector.
Making its home in Kansas City is only appropriate. The Alliance is dedicated to building strong leadership, strong communities and strong organizations, and Kansas City is one of the country's most active philanthropic communities.

REACH Foundation's Rural Health Initiative
In 2012, the REACH Healthcare Foundation created the Rural Health Initiative (RHI) with a goal of breaking through persistent barriers to health care access for rural residents who are economically and medically underserved. The initiative focuses on three rural counties in Kansas and Missouri that are part of the REACH service area.
In October 2016, the foundation convened rural health partners, technical assistance providers, foundation leaders and others engaged in rural health to reflect on the experiences and results of the initiative. Read more about the RHI here.
