Equity, Nonprofit Workforce, and Government-Nonprofit Contracts
The California Contracting Coalition, convened by CalNonprofits, has been engaged in a statewide advocacy effort to change government contracting practices to produce more timely, reliable, and equitable payments to nonprofits, support living wages, and increase access to contracts for smaller and BIPOC-led organizations performing critical work in communities across the state. This Coalition recently sent a letter with 550 nonprofit signatures to the Governor and state leaders.
