Task Force on Strengthening Nonprofit Capacity Report & Recommendations
Provided by the Texas Association of Nonprofit Organizations
The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) established the Task Force on Strengthening Nonprofit Capacity, as directed by H.B. 492, 81st Legislature, Regular Session, 2009, to make recommendations for strengthening the capacity of faith- and community-based organizations (FCBOs) for managing human resources and funds and providing services to Texans in need.
H.B. 492 directed the task force, comprised of representatives for FCBOs, state agencies, the academic community, and the foundation community, to hold at least three public hearings throughout Texas to hear testimony from the public to strengthening nonprofit capacity. Furthermore, H.B. 492 required the task force to submit its legislative report, with recommendations, to the Senate Health and Human Services Committee, the House Committee on Health Services, and the House Committee on Public Health.
The task force sought public testimony throughout Texas at five public hearings and solicited for written comments and recommendations by mail and e-mail. In addition, the task force established a subcommittee to collaborate with the OneStar Foundation and Bush School of Government and Public Service at Texas A&M University to develop and implement a statewide survey seeking input on nonprofit capacity building from small- and medium-sized FCBOs not heard through public hearings, mail, and e-mail. The task force considered all public input in developing its recommendations.
The task force members developed and approved the final report, which makes legislative recommendations for strengthening the capacity of FCBOs throughout Texas.
Task Force member Brad Carter created this interactive site of the report in cooperation with the Texas Association of Nonprofit Organizations (TANO).
