A
research division of The Union Institute that promotes equal access to
and full participation in the policy-making process. The center's applied
research broadens policy debates by examining the status quo, assessing
alternative models and practices, and expanding the mix of voices. CPP
emphasizes collaborative work and values process as an important outcome
and a means for promoting change in thought and action. During the last
decade, CPP has concentrated on the critical role nonprofit organizations
play in promoting democracy, fostering social justice, and addressing
human needs. Established in 1985 as a component of the Institute’s Office
for Social Responsibility, CPP brings the nonprofit sector more fully
into the democratic process, encourages innovative exchanges among nonprofit
and other leaders, and acts as a catalyst for new ideas and approaches
to the resolution of social problems; works to promote new understandings
of policy needs and concerns, build new capacities in the nonprofit sector
and its leadership, and strengthen the sector’s infrastructure; the Center
operates a range of projects designed to strengthen charitable, nonprofit
activity in the United States. Many of these projects have resulted in
Nonprofit Publications (some offered
free as downloadable files), and the Center has produced an extensive
Nonprofit Database of organizations
concerned with charitable capacity building.
