2010 Independent Sector Annual Report • 03 about independent sector

The United States is now home to an estimated 1.5 million public nonprofits, private foundations, and religious congregations that work to improve the lives of individuals and communities. Collectively, we refer to these organizations as the “independent sector,” which underscores their unique role in society, distinct from business and government.

Independent Sector is the leadership forum for nonprofits, foundations, and corporate giving programs committed to advancing the common good in America and worldwide. our vision our mission

A just and inclusive society and a healthy To advance the common good by leading, democracy of active citizens, effective strengthening, and mobilizing the nonprofit institutions, and vibrant communities. and philanthropic community.

Founded in 1980 • 30 Years Strong • 04 MESSAGE FROM OUR CHAIR AND PRESIDENT

“When it is darkest, men see the stars.”

Ralph Waldo Emerson’s words provide insight into 2010, a year in which many organizations grappled with sky high demand amid a tight fiscal environment. At Independent Sector, we thought long and hard about how we might lead our organization, our member network, and our sector to achieve even greater effectiveness. Guiding our effort was a bright north star: helping the nonprofit and philanthropic community be even more successful in a number of ways: Advanced “Charting Impact.” In 2010, we partnered with BBB Wise Giving Alliance and GuideStar USA on “Charting Impact.” This initiative helps nonprofits and foundations define their impact and more clearly articulate how their programs serve society. Forty organizations have piloted “Charting Impact” and our nonprofit effectiveness advisory group continues to work with us on its development and adoption. We are excited to launch this tool in coming months. Promoted Ethical Practice. To strengthen public confidence in the sector, we developed an on-line resource center scheduled for release in 2011. We continued to promote accountability through expanded distribution of the Principles for Good Governance and Ethical Practice: A Guide for Charities and Foundation and the Principles Workbook: Steering Your Board Toward Good Governance and Ethical Practice. To date, we’ve had an eye- popping 153,000 requests for the Principles and over 13,000 for the Workbook. Hosted Innovative Gathering in Atlanta. In October, over 900 people (including 122 on scholarship) attended our annual conference featuring interactive sessions infused with the arts. About 150 participated in our Public Policy Action Institute – nearly double that of 2009 – and 130 in NGen programming (for nonprofit professionals under 40). The expertise and vibrancy of all our participants produced a world-class exchange of ideas. Championed Public Policy. 2010 was a powerhouse year in public policy. IS led a network of charitable allies to guarantee that nonprofit employers received credits and subsidies equivalent to for profit businesses in health care and job creation. We helped pass legislation to extend the IRA rollover and other giving incentives through 2011, while deflecting efforts to curtail tax deductions available to the wealthiest taxpayers. In 2011, we will continue to serve as the voice of the nonprofit and philanthropic community so that our views inform the legislative debates that govern how we do our work. Adopted New Strategic Plan. In December 2010, IS adopted a new strategic plan following an intensive 18-month process that included in-person convenings and online vehicles. In addition to re-affirming our mission and values, our plan features 3 programmatic priorities – Voice, Leadership, and Impact – designed to strengthen the sector. We are eager to deepen our work in these areas. We invite you to read more about our activities in 2010 and we thank our board, staff, and members who made the year a success. We welcome their ideas – and yours – on how to continue building a high-caliber organization dedicated to improving lives. We’ll keep our feet firmly planted on the ground in 2011 but, as Emerson suggested, we’ll also reach for the stars to create a more just, inclusive, and beautiful world. Come join us!

2010 Independent Sector Annual Report • 07 HIGHLIGHTS FROM 2010 Voice. Leadership. Impact.

These three ideas have been central to Independent Sector’s work since our founding in 1980. Our 30th Anniversary year took them to new levels of commitment and throughout 2010, our board, staff, and member organizations focused on serving as a voice for the sector, providing and developing leadership, and increasing the impact of nonprofits and foundations. Our dedication to these principles has become so strong, in fact, that they will be our explicit priorities for the next three years.

In the summer of 2009, we began collecting input from hundreds of members of the nonprofit community, surveyed our membership, and convened an Ad Hoc Committee on Strategic Planning. Their insights shaped a new strategic plan that our board of directors approved at its December meeting. This plan identifies voice, leadership, and impact as the keys to our programs, connecting them with two other elements crucial to the success of our coalition: maintaining a strong, committed membership and demonstrating the value of our sector.

As a result, the end of 2010 was an important new beginning and a vital continuation for Independent Sector.

Voice The economy dominated discussions in The past year emphasized why the nonprofit Washington throughout 2010. As we had and philanthropic community must have done during the previous 18 months of the a strong voice. The ongoing struggles of downturn, IS conveyed to key Congressional the economy and the increasingly polarized policymakers and Administration officials how political debates had dramatic effects on our sector has met critical needs, provided the people our organizations serve, and jobs, and contributes to the economy. Independent Sector regularly provided a crucial perspective to public officials, the An expanding element of our work was media, and others. highlighting the economic importance of the nonprofit and philanthropic community. Many public officials and their staff do not realize that our sector: Spends $1.3 trillion, including major investments in every state • Provides $670 billion in wages Employs 10 percent of the population • We worked with our members to show how• support for nonprofits generates dual benefits: keeping constituents employed and providing vital services, especially to people hurt by the recession.

IS also helped ensure that nonprofits day running the largest foundation in Hawai’i. “After almost 13 years, were included in the HIRE Act, which was my job is still a bit unpredictable,” he passed in the spring. This law provided $13 chuckles. billion in payroll tax incentives for businesses and nonprofits to hire workers who had “Our state is particularly unique because it is a been unable to find full-time work for more great place for foundations to invest in national than 60 days. Again, IS provided guidance programmatic interests.” One example he cites is for organizations hoping to claim the credit. that Hawai’i has one major school system and one public university system statewide. “So, if you pioneer certain programs here - that prove to be very effective for education - you have a chance to scale those programs very quickly through a whole system.”

“The Community Foundation has taken on the role of being a catalyst for social change and the thought leader for the sector in Hawai’i,” Kelvin notes, “not only for nonprofit staff and board members, but also for key decision makers who intersect with the nonprofit community – so elected officials, philanthropists, and business leaders have a better understanding of what makes the sector work and what its challenges are. We’re kind of like a mini-IS.”

Independent Sector Founder John Gardner spent part of his childhood in Hawai’i and was Kelvin’s mentor. “He was an extraordinarily generous person with his time and the rock star of our sector.”

Kelvin underscores that the ongoing work IS does around public policy and advocacy is critical and we We worked on many other policy issues all need to support it because “you never know when vital to our community.
