Bringing the Stimulus Plan Home: Obama's Effect on Nonprofit Jobs

On February 17, 2009, the Obama economic stimulus bill (the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act - ARRA) was signed into law. The $787 billion package will provide resources across three areas: business, government, and the nonprofit sector. It is no secret that many individuals and nonprofits have been suffering and are in desperate need of additional resources to continue meeting their missions and the stimulus package will provide some assistance.

There are some unanswered questions about how the funding will directly impact the nonprofit sector, but the funding does provide an extraordinary opportunity across myriad areas such as the arts and humanities, energy, human services, housing, and public service to save or create new jobs by adding new or expanding existing programs. The stimulus package has a three-fold purpose to create a safety net to make it through the recession, build and improve the country's infrastructure, and to save or create jobs across the country. Due to the enormity of the package, its impact will not be immediately measurable.
