The Non-Profit Sector in a Place-based Policy World
The value of the non-profit sector has never been clearer. In addition to its age-old role of providing social goods and services that the market and public sectors have failed to deliver adequately, the sector is a key player in the new social policy era. So argues David Hay, Director of CPRN’s Family Network.
Hay says that despite the challenges inherent in funding regimes, reporting requirements and regulations, the sector is still a major source of social innovation. Its committed workforce, experience, knowledge, flexibility and creativity, its entrepreneurial capacity and its holistic approach are its strengths. Hay suggests that non-profits are well placed to play an increasingly important part in place-based policies of the future.
