Recommendations from the Task Force on Strengthening Nonprofit Capacity
The task force sought public testimony throughout Texas at five public hearings and solicited for written comments and recommendations by mail and e-mail. The task force also collaborated with the Bush School of Government & 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 met throughout September and October 2010 to develop its report with legislative recommendations, considering all public input.
Strengthening nonprofit capacity cannot be accomplished solely through legislation. Therefore, armed with the public comment, public recommendations, survey data, research and experience, the task force developed two, complementary sets of recommendations: (1) legislative recommendations for the Texas State Legislature, and (2) non-legislative recommendations for the sector to implement on its own.
