👍 City Council candidates say yes to helping nonprofits hire and retain staff
We've published a new analysis of how City Council candidates answered CNC's question about how the City can help the nonprofit sector with its hiring/retention crisis.
(Our analysis pulls from the full set of candidate answers to our Nonprofit Candidate questionnaire, which also includes a summarizing table.)
🤔 What we found:
City Council candidates overwhelmingly support having the City help the nonprofit sector hire and retain quality staff. In general, the two ideas candidates brought up most frequently were:
- collaborating with the sector on various parts of the staffing process (12 of 20 answers), and
- helping with funding (8 of 20 answers).
Ultimately, we hope this analysis will serve as a first step towards concrete improvements to the nonprofit staffing crisis — one of our sector’s most significant challenges, as our most recent Cambridge nonprofit survey showed.
