Meet the 2016 Nonprofit Excellence Awards Selection Committee
In the six months leading up to the Awards Presentation, Committee members have reviewed and scored the applicants. During this
three-step judging process
, they provide detailed feedback to the organizations about their management strengths and weaknesses. Individually, Committee members volunteer 80 to 100 hours a year to this process.
We look for experts with experience running nonprofits, supporting or funding nonprofits, and consulting with or advising nonprofits on their management practices. As such, the members of the Committee are nonprofit leaders (including past winners), consultants, capacity builders, and funders. Click here to read more.

2016 Needs Assessment Report Summary
NPCC launched its first-ever needs assessment survey in April, 2016. The goal of this effort was to gain a baseline understanding of the common management challenges New York City-area nonprofits are facing and to understand what more we can do to support the sector. As a leader in nonprofit management and capacity-building strategies, NPCC must stay abreast of these trends and needs. The results from this assessment will guide NPCC's strategic programming decisions as well as help NPCC identify trends relating to policy, government regulations, and nonprofit management--issues that affect all nonprofits, regardless of size, age, or mission.
Below are some interesting facts and key findings from this year's survey. Stay tuned for the release of the full report summary this week!

Employers May Be Banned From Asking Prior Salary History
A bill in the City Council of New York City would prohibit employers from inquiring about a prospective employee's salary history. Introduced by
New York City Public Advocate Letitia James,
Int. 1253
states when employers rely on salary histories to determine compensation, they perpetuate the gender wage gap. Adopting measures like this bill can reduce the likelihood that women will be prejudiced by prior salary levels and help break the cycle of gender pay inequity. Click here to read more.

Get Your Organization Ready for #NYGivesDay!
On November 29, 2016, nonprofit organizations all over the state of New York will come together to hold a statewide day of giving. This day will be a unique opportunity to highlight how we can work together and build a stronger sense of community.
New York Gives Day has been established by
The New York Council of Nonprofits, Inc. (NYCON) and
United Way of New York State (UWNYS) to unite the state around providing increased support for local nonprofit organizations. This 24-hour online event, called New York Gives Day (#NYGivesDay) builds on the success of #GivingTuesday.
This year NPCC joins New York Gives Day as a Network Leader.
Experience with such days of giving shows that when participation increases, donors have more choices and overall giving to nonprofits increases.
New York Gives Day will provide better access for smaller nonprofits to participate. The technology platform, provided by GiveGab, will ensure that every nonprofit will have an easy-to-use online giving option that can be leveraged on Giving Tuesday and year round to connect with supporters. Click here to learn more and register your organization for #NYGivesDay.

Julie Floch, a leader in nonprofit accounting and finance, died on Friday after a years-long battle with cancer. Floch was the partner in charge of accounting and consulting at
EisnerAmper's
Not-For-Profit-Services Group and served on the NPCC Government Relations Council for several years.
"She was a towering member of the New York nonprofit community and will be sorely missed," says Ian Benjamin, NPCC Board Chair.
"Julie was such a knowledgeable, wise and generous colleague. Her sophistication about the financial affairs of non-profits was a gift to all of us who work in the sector. We at the Nonprofit Coordinating Committee and the Government Relations Council will miss her greatly," says Barbara Schatz, NPCC Board Member.
We at NPCC are thankful to Julie Floch for her incomparable work and service to nonprofits.
