This document summarizes nonprofit financial management practices over the past 50 years. It analyzes key indicators such as growth, revenue diversification, liquidity, and debt levels among nonprofits of different sizes through decades. During economic downturns like the Great Recession, nonprofits responded by reducing salaries, tapping reserves, laying off staff, and cutting programs while governments increased complexity of reporting and contracting. Overall, mid-sized nonprofits weathered financial challenges best while larger ones took on more debt, and the document recommends increased reserves and consideration of organization size.
Louisiana State Budget and its Tax Giveaways
The document summarizes information from a presentation on Louisiana's state budget challenges. It notes that Louisiana has high rates of poverty and low incomes compared to other states. The state relies heavily on one-time budget fixes and has underfunded education and health care as a result of budget cuts. The budget has a structural deficit because revenues have not kept up with needs, and the tax system is overly reliant on sales taxes and contains many exemptions that reduce revenues. Reform of tax exemptions and a more balanced revenue approach are needed to address the budget problems.
Economic Crisis Survey Results
The survey results show that the economic crisis has moderately or severely affected most grantee organizations. Organizations have seen reductions in overall funding, individual donations, and some donors reneging on pledged funds. Communities have also been moderately or severely affected, with observed effects like increased difficulties for populations and families engaging children in work or reducing meals. Despite challenges, organizations are taking actions like becoming more efficient and expanding impacts with available resources to reduce effects of the crisis.
OPEB Presentation
This document summarizes a presentation about NYC's other post-employment benefits (OPEB) liabilities and potential solutions. NYC has the second largest OPEB liability in the US at over $70 billion, which is only 3.4% funded. The presentation compares NYC to other jurisdictions and finds NYC is unique in fully subsidizing retiree health premiums and Medicare Part B premium reimbursements. It proposes reducing liabilities by increasing retiree premium sharing and reforming funding mechanisms like pre-funding annual liabilities and establishing an investment strategy for the retiree health trust fund.

Kern tax budget hearing comments 110815
The document summarizes comments made by Michael Turnipseed of the Kern County Taxpayers Association during the 2011-2012 Kern County budget hearings. It addresses challenges facing the national and local economy and recommends that the county board of supervisors focus on improving outcomes in education, employment, poverty, crime, and health by prioritizing goals, developing new strategies, and encouraging collaboration between local governments. It also stresses the need for the board to advocate for policies that promote jobs and economic growth.
Childrens Hospices And The Recession 100129
The document discusses the impact of the recession on the third sector in the UK. It finds that around a quarter of organizations reported significant concerns due to the recession. Charitable giving dipped by 11% in 2008-2009. While many organizations expect no change in income in the short term, perceptions of the medium term are more pessimistic. Cuts to government funding are expected but will not impact all sectors uniformly. Collaboration and reconfiguration appear necessary strategies for many organizations to weather the challenges.
Harpel measuring the gig economy
This document discusses measuring gig and independent work at the state and local level. It explores various data sources that can provide information about this sector, including non-employer establishments, non-farm proprietors, self-employed workers, and Schedule C tax filers. The Washington D.C. region is analyzed as a case study, finding that gig work engages 10-15% of the workforce but only generates 3% of income. While this flexible work provides opportunities, it also tends to have less secure income and benefits compared to traditional employment.
Low Income Londoners and Welfare Reform: a data-led investigation into the ca...
Policy in Practice has embarked on an ambitious project to track changing living standards for almost one million Londoners over the course of two years, on a monthly basis.
This work combines data from 14 London boroughs to track changes across 444,000 low income households made up of 550,000 adults and 350,000 children, representing 27% of the overall population living in the participating boroughs.
Deven Ghelani shared findings from Phase One of the project at IntoWork 2017.
Collaborating on data sharing allows us to:
• Combine data across London in order to benchmark changes, offering a large enough sample to understand niche areas such as self-employment or temporary housing.
• Track households to understand the causal drivers of poverty and prosperity on a systematic basis.
Policy in Practice works with local authorities to show the cumulative impact of tax and benefit changes on individual households, both now and in the future. This project builds on this with a longitudinal data model, simulation engine and visualisation platform to make this information accessible to policymakers and offer a deeper understanding of poverty.
We look forward to welcoming even more local authorities to the project as we progress to Phase two.

What It Takes to Sustain High Performance in a Nonprofit Agency
Presentation by Peter Goldberg at the 2010 RWJF Annual Meeting in St. Paul, MN
Whether experiencing good or bad economic conditions, there are several ways a nonprofit organization should assure it is high performing. This workshop, targeted to senior-level nonprofit professionals, will incorporate timely tactics and information on nonprofit high performance such as how “high tech” will intrude on “high touch,” maintaining elements of organizational capacity and managing talent, and creating a culture of innovation and ethics.
We will focus on establishing strong executive leadership, good governance, and appropriately structured outcomes, while also working to effectively meet organizational capacity issues despite fluctuating funding streams. We will also address the capacity issues that arise from the need to “look around two corners.” Participants will discuss in detail the challenges to maintaining organizational capacity and willingness to innovate, while also developing the intellectual and pragmatic radar to change with the changing times.

Tier 6 pension reform myth vs reality
This document discusses myths and realities regarding proposed pension reforms in New York. It addresses 8 myths: 1) the reforms are an effort to demonize employees, 2) benefits are meager, 3) contributions are not historically high, 4) the system is not broken, 5) defined contribution plans would be too complicated, 6) employer contributions are minimal, 7) defined contribution plans are too risky, and 8) individuals cannot be trusted to choose plans. The realities provided show that the current system is unsustainable and costs have risen dramatically for taxpayers while contributions from employees have remained stable. Defined contribution plans can provide stability if implemented properly.

Good practices in building government budgets. Governments are budget driven making budget formulation critical to good financial management.
Public financial management
The document compares public expenditure management (PEM) reforms in New Zealand and Australia. Both countries introduced reforms to improve aggregate fiscal discipline, allocation efficiency, and operational efficiency. New Zealand's reforms included establishing state-owned enterprises, abolishing permanent public sector tenure, enhancing transparency through the Public Finance Act, and the Fiscal Responsibility Act. Australia introduced a medium-term expenditure framework focusing on forward estimates, macroeconomic planning, and portfolio budgeting. Key similarities in the PEM reforms of both countries include increased transparency, devolution, contestability, and commitment to fiscal discipline.
LOCAL FISCAL ADMINISTRATION
The document discusses the power of local government units in the Philippines to create sources of revenue and levy taxes according to the 1987 Constitution and 1991 Local Government Code. It outlines that provinces, cities, municipalities, and barangays each have the power to tax and generate their own revenue. It also summarizes the fundamental principles that govern local government financial affairs, including that funds must only be spent for public purposes, revenue collection must be authorized by law, and fiscal responsibility is shared by local government authorities.

This is a spiritual exercise that will help you expand your understanding in interpreting visions, dreams and word pictures. This exercise is best done with a small group but can be done alone. The overall goal is to know our own hearts and minds, to increase in humility and Christlikeness.
Final project presentation
This document discusses the role of medical libraries and health resources centers in assisting with cancer research and providing health information to cancer patients. It notes that over 163,000 new cancer cases are estimated in California alone for 2011. Medical libraries are committed to helping health professionals and researchers with clinical studies that could save lives by providing valuable research information. They also aim to facilitate cancer patients' ability to learn about their specific type of cancer in a way they can understand.

Pensions in Peril: How Municipalities Are Defusing This Fiscal Time Bomb
This document summarizes the state of pension reform in Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, and California at the state and municipal levels. It finds that all three states have large unfunded pension liabilities, especially when measured on a market value basis rather than using government assumptions. Rhode Island has enacted some reforms but municipalities still face funding gaps. Pennsylvania has over 3,200 underfunded municipal plans and some cities like Scranton are facing bankruptcy. California cities like San Bernardino have also failed to make pension payments. Comprehensive reform is urgently needed to avoid crowding out other spending with rising pension costs.

2010-12-20-Hidden_in_Plain_Sight
1) New York state has faced chronic budget deficits for decades due to ongoing spending exceeding recurring revenues. This structural imbalance requires multi-year solutions but past budgets have relied on one-time fixes that push the problem into future years.
2) When the 2010-2011 fiscal year began, New York faced a projected $9.2 billion budget gap that grew to over $28 billion in the following years. The enacted budget claimed to be balanced but relied on opaque transfers from other funds and delaying payments.
3) Independent analyses found that closing the large gaps would require unprecedented tax increases, spending cuts to major programs, or a combination of both. However, New York has historically avoided difficult choices through short-term
Issues in cashflow planning
This document provides guidance on cash flow planning and debt management. It recommends maintaining 3 to 6 months of emergency expenses in liquid accounts. It also suggests keeping monthly housing costs below 28% of gross income, total monthly payments below 36% of gross income, and total consumer debt below 20% of net income. Additionally, it notes that a cash flow analysis provides an in-depth look at current and projected income and expenses to help prioritize and fund financial goals.
Rhode Island Debt Management and Oversight
This document summarizes the findings of research into Rhode Island's public debt management practices. It identifies four main findings: 1) numerous entities issue debt with weak oversight; 2) a lack of professional debt management staff; 3) underutilization of the Public Finance Management Board; and 4) over-reliance on external consultants. It then provides recommendations to address these findings, including establishing an Office of Debt Management, strengthening PFMB oversight of quasi-public debt, ensuring independence of financial advice, and improving research and reporting. The document concludes systemic reform is needed to solve Rhode Island's debt management challenges.

Giellis: Coronavirus shutdown offers
opportunity to rethink Denver’s
priorities
Plans for airport, convention center, National Western complex
should change
By JAMIE GIELLIS | Guest Commentary
April 25, 2020 at 6:59 a.m.
I have been spending my days listening, working closely with friends, neighbors
and elected leaders all sobered by this challenging moment and what lies ahead.
This pandemic has shaken us, shedding light on the fractures in our society.
It has also, however, revealed our common good. Our community has united to
lighten the load of those hit hardest in so many ways. I myself have spent my days
sewing — part of an army of people across the city making masks for our front-
line workers and others in need. Each stitch represents hope, and I believe we
have every reason to hope that something good will come out of these long,
challenging days.
Ensuring that happens means our city leaders must seize the opportunities for
change this crisis has presented. Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. once said that
we live in an “inescapable network of mutuality” and this pandemic has laid that
bare. Nobody is untouched by its impacts, and light has been shed on the
economic vulnerability of so many. Old recession playbooks won’t work to pull us
all out of this together. Instead, investing in programs that help us rebuild a
sustainable and resilient economy must be our approach going forward. Housing,
jobs, small businesses, food security, health care and equity are core to that.
As we all individually adjust to new realities, we must ask our leadership to do the
same. The city of Denver faces a dire financial future – $180 million in lost tax
revenue already with bigger losses to come. Tough decisions will need to be made
about projects to keep or cut. It is time to step back and hit the reset button on
our priorities. If we carry on as before ignoring the deep fissures in our system,
we will only perpetuate this crisis. Our city’s leaders must focus on rebuilding with
resiliency – lifting up and creating a safety net for those this pandemic has
impacted most – our small businesses and workers, our community of individuals
experiencing homelessness, our elderly community, our kids. The pandemic has
forced Denver to act on issues that have long challenged all of these groups; our
legacy coming out of it should not be temporary interventions, but permanent
changes.
A critical component to this is pivoting away from big physical infrastructure
projects that are no longer relevant, freeing up resources to focus on the
wellbeing of the people of this city. This means:
• Substantially paring back the renovation of Denver International Airport to focus
only on the necessary. We’ve already lost hundreds of millions of dollars to
mismanagement; as airlines and concessionaires face extraordinary losses of their
own, this is not the time to add more cost burden.
• Halting the expansion of the Colora ...

This document summarizes how data can be used to identify people at risk of homelessness. It presents case studies of five local councils - Croydon, Luton, Barking and Dagenham, Royal Borough of Greenwich, and Guinness Group - that have used household data to target vulnerable people for support. The case studies show how the councils analyzed financial and benefits data to identify at-risk households, engaged with them proactively, and tracked the impact of interventions, with outcomes like increased incomes, fewer arrears and homeless applications, and lower use of food banks. The document argues that data-driven approaches can help councils meet new homelessness prevention responsibilities and design services focused on early intervention.
Working Characterising Central Local Government Relationships Since 97
This document summarizes central-local government relations in the UK since 1997. It analyzes the relationship through different frameworks and provides examples from both before and after 1997. Some key points include:
- Relations were ideologically divisive before 1997 but became more harmonious under Labour governments.
- Significant reforms centralized power to central government pre-1997 but post-1997 saw attempts to increase local discretion and accountability.
- Area Based Grants consolidated over £4.8 billion in specific grants to give local authorities more flexibility in spending.
- Local Area Agreements set local priorities and targets but their effectiveness is debated.
- Ongoing challenges include balancing priorities, clarifying powers, and building democratic legitimacy locally.
Business Leaders’ Insights: Ensuring Long-Term Fiscal Stability for Michigan
Business Leaders’ Insights: Ensuring Long-Term Fiscal Stability for MichiganBusiness Leaders for Michigan
Business leaders looking for places to locate or expand operations often consider the stability of government financial operations as a key factor in their site selection decisions.
When current levels of taxation and service provision are not sustainable, it creates uncertainty about the location’s long-term viability as a place to invest, live or work.
Michigan has a history of being more fiscally unstable than the average state, due to a traditionally heavier reliance on manufacturing. Michigan has had a tendency to out-perform the nation during economic recoveries and under-perform during periods of recession. These trends result in tax revenues that vary widely from year to year, making budget and economic planning a challenge for state and local officials. In addition, stagnant population growth and an aging population have increased taxpayer demand on public services.
The nearly decade-long recession Michigan experienced in the 2000’s placed significant pressure on the people of Michigan and left many local units of government in fiscal distress. State leaders responded by passing the Local Financial Stability and Choice Act (Public Act 436 of 2012) to address the growing number of local governments and school districts with unusually high levels of economic hardship. The City of Detroit filed for bankruptcy in 2013, and Michigan has had four school districts cease operations due to fiscal insolvency (Highland Park, Buena Vista, Inkster, and Muskegon Heights). Moreover, Detroit Public Schools recently came very close to insolvency.Summary Of State Budget And Jobs Summit

Michael Lawson, a researcher for the George Mason University Fiscal Sustainability Project, provides a fiscal comparison of Baltimore and San BernardinoReturn to prosperity - for Goshen
This document discusses options for addressing budget shortfalls faced by state and local governments. It argues that creating public banks owned by states is a viable alternative to cutting services, raising taxes, or relying on borrowing. The Bank of North Dakota is presented as a successful model, having maintained strong credit ratings and returned profits to the state treasury for over 20 years. Establishing public banks could allow states to leverage their existing liquid assets to generate loans and income, similarly to how private banks operate, in order to stabilize revenues without federal assistance or taking on high interest debt.
2014 SPSA
The document summarizes an empirical study that uses a synthetic control method to analyze the effect of supermajority requirements for tax increases in California after the passage of Proposition 13 in 1978. It constructs a synthetic control unit for California from potential control states without supermajority requirements to estimate what California's tax rates would have been without the requirement. The study finds that from 1979 to 2008, California's non-property tax rates were 0.73 percentage points lower than what its synthetic control predicts they would have been without the supermajority requirement. The effect was larger initially but deteriorated over time. Placebo tests support the credibility of these estimates.
CIVEA 2019: Debt and financial resilience
The document discusses Policy in Practice's work on analyzing and managing local and central government debt through the Reimagine Debt pilot program. The program aims to consolidate household-level debt data to offer holistic debt guidance. Initial pilots in Newcastle and Barking manually pooled debt data on 39 families. The program is now looking to scale up this approach by using analytics on pooled household datasets to identify vulnerable families, engage them proactively, and track outcomes over time. The outcomes of the Barking pilot found that average arrears fell by £1,100 across 21 households tracked over 18 months, reducing total rent and council tax arrears by £17,600 and £5,500 respectively.
Weathering the Storm ABFM Present 10[1].06
A local government fiscal crisis occurs when there is reasonable concern over a government's ability to pay its bills on time and its revenues and expenditures are consistently imbalanced. States can respond by reviewing audits, approving bonds, withholding funds, or taking over financial operations. Early warning signs include an inability to adopt budgets on time, expenditure increases outpacing revenue growth, and long-term liabilities growing faster than inflation. Understanding common factors among distressed cities allows for earlier detection and prevention of full-blown financial emergencies.

Combined Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported (IUU) Vessel List.
The best available, up-to-date information on all fishing and related vessels that appear on the illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing vessel lists published by Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs) and related organisations. The aim of the site is to improve the effectiveness of the original IUU lists as a tool for a wide variety of stakeholders to better understand and combat illegal fishing and broader fisheries crime.
To date, the following regional organisations maintain or share lists of vessels that have been found to carry out or support IUU fishing within their own or adjacent convention areas and/or species of competence:
Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR)
Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna (CCSBT)
General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM)
Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC)
International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT)
Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC)
Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (NAFO)
North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC)
North Pacific Fisheries Commission (NPFC)
South East Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (SEAFO)
South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (SPRFMO)
Southern Indian Ocean Fisheries Agreement (SIOFA)
Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC)
The Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List merges all these sources into one list that provides a single reference point to identify whether a vessel is currently IUU listed. Vessels that have been IUU listed in the past and subsequently delisted (for example because of a change in ownership, or because the vessel is no longer in service) are also retained on the site, so that the site contains a full historic record of IUU listed fishing vessels.
Unlike the IUU lists published on individual RFMO websites, which may update vessel details infrequently or not at all, the Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List is kept up to date with the best available information regarding changes to vessel identity, flag state, ownership, location, and operations.

Fiscal Distress in Local Governments: Opportunities for State/Local Partnership
- 1. Fiscal Distress in Local Governments: Opportunities for State/Local Partnership December 2, 2016
- 2. Opportunities for state/local partnership • Local governments are critical to state growth • Local officials have limited flexibility to address both long-term structural challenges and short-term shocks • Early detection creates opportunities to resolve challenges in advance of a fiscal crisis
- 3. Fiscal monitoring defined • States that actively and regularly review financial information from local governments • Assess the fiscal condition of local governments and/or identify signs of distress
- 4. Fiscal monitoring states Fiscal monitoring No monitoring WA OR NV CO NM SD MN IA LA FL TN KY NC OH MI PA NY NH RI CT NJ MD
- 5. Early warning states Fiscal monitoring Fiscal monitoring with early warning No monitoring WA OR NV CO NM SD MN IA LA FL TN KY NC OH MI PA NY NH RI CT NJ MD NV LA NC OH PA
- 6. Challenge 1 Challenge: Learning about fiscal distress too late. Solution: States check in with local governments on a frequent and regular basis to try to detect distress earlier.
- 7. Tennessee • Quarterly monitoring • Budgets and financial statements • Sufficient resources to meet obligations “A lot of what we’re doing is really proactive and upfront, rather than after things have gone wrong.” -Ron Queen, senior financial analyst, Office of State and Local Finance
- 8. Challenge 2 Challenge: Inconsistent monitoring when procedures are informal and not codified in statute. Solution: Formal systems and processes promote transparency, predictability, and consistency.
- 9. Rhode Island • Proposed tax rates and proposed budgets • Local governments are required to submit quarterly reports • Five year forecasts including pensions and OPEB “[Central Falls] was certainly a wake-up call… before no one really envisioned a municipality going bankrupt.” -Susanne Greschner, chief, Division of Municipal Finance
- 10. Challenge 3 Challenge: Tensions between state and local government officials. Solution: States can establish good working relationships with local governments.
- 11. New York “We want transparency. We’re not trying to ‘catch’ places.” -Craig Kinns, assistant director, operations, State Comptroller’s Division of Local Government and School Accountability • “No surprise approach” • Reach out to local governments in advance
- 12. Challenge 4 Challenge: Treating intervention as the only response. Solution: Identify smaller steps to help local governments that stop short of intervention.
- 13. Nevada “Taking over entities is pretty serious… fiscal watch offers all kinds of opportunities to correct [problems] before the state actually takes over.” -Terry Rubald, deputy executive director, Department of Taxation • “Fiscal watch” • 27 indicators • Committee on Local Government Finance
- 14. Key considerations • Establish a clear definition of “distress” • Identify the department(s) or agency(ies) responsible • Identify data sources that will meet the stated purpose • Determine which indicators to monitor and with what frequency • Ensure monitoring is consistent
