Coalition Op-Ed
Fall 2023
The Coalition Steering Committee wrote an op-ed which was published in the Washington Business Journal about the need for the DC government to follow the law and treat nonprofits wth the respect they deserve.
Who we are
Members of the Coalition share a common goal - ensuring all DC residents have access to the vital community-based services and supports they need to not only survive, but thrive. We do this by strengthening DC’s nonprofit sector and prioritizing nonprofit equity so that nonprofits, nonprofit workers, and the critical services they provide in our city can thrive.

What we do
We work with the nonprofit sector, government partners, philanthropy, and other national and local allies to achieve systemic change that improves the quality of life for District residents by strengthening the advocacy and service capacity of the sector.
How we do it
We build and maintain relationships with elected officials, city administrators, local and national nonprofit, philanthropic and other allies to educate and increase the understanding of government leaders about the challenges nonprofits face. We advocate and mobilize campaigns to ensure the voice of community based nonprofits and nonprofit workers are heard. By engaging stakeholders, the Coalition increases the power of DC nonprofits, nonprofit workers, and residents.
