Take Action: Support a New State Office for Nonprofits

At a time of federal instability and rising community needs, California's state government agencies must strengthen how they partner with nonprofits.

SB 1240, newly introduced by Senator Jerry McNerney (D-Pleasanton) and sponsored by CalNonprofits, establishes the Office of Nonprofit Empowerment (ONE) - a first-of-its-kind dedicated hub within state government to improve collaboration between the state and its nonprofit partners.

Just as California businesses can turn to Go-Biz and the Office of the Small Business Advocate, nonprofits need a dedicated liaison office that will support their work and the communities they serve throughout the state. The bill aligns with recommendations from the Little Hoover Commission's recent report emphasizing the urgent need for a more responsive government-nonprofit infrastructure.

Join us now in calling on legislators to support SB 1240 and the creation of a new Office of Nonprofit Empowerment. The bill will soon move to its first policy committee hearing and we need a strong show of support.
