On October 22, 1999 President Clinton
created an Interagency Task Force on Nonprofits and Government. The purpose of
this Task Force is twofold: first, to identify current forms of collaboration
between the Federal Government and nonprofits; and second, to evaluate ways
this collaboration can be improved. The Task Force is specifically
charged with three tasks:
- To develop a public inventory of "best practices" in existing
collaborations between Federal agency programs and nonprofit organizations and
examine ways that Federal agencies can better draw upon the experience and
innovations of nonprofits in the development of public policy.
- Evaluate data and research trends on nonprofits and philanthropy
including an examination of the factors that affect giving and an investigation
of trends that are likely to affect future giving. And,
- To develop policy responses as they relate to philanthropic
giving.
