The AmeriCorps Budget Crisis of 2003 (Sequel): Why the National Service Movement Faced Cutbacks and How it Responded

內容大綱
The sequel (1740.1) describes the emergence of a high-profile public lobbying effort called Save AmeriCorps. It details the full-court press effort-including the use of national and local media, political contacts of board members, and a range of public events-meant to convince Congressional appropriators to approve an emergency supplemental budget which would include additional funds for Americorps grants. Finally, the fact that the Coalition's effort falls short, at least in the near-term, raises questions about the long-term impact of such lobbying-as well as the more fundamental question about whether it makes sense for volunteers and nonprofit organizations to look to government for salaries and operating funds. HKS Case Number 1740.1
