Our partner, The Center for Tax and Budget Accountability, is holding a Fiscal Symposium, $7 billion in New Revenue, Now What Do We Do? on Friday, March 25 at the Union League Club of Chicago, 69 West Jackson Blvd. This annual event is a great opportunity for nonprofits and foundations to get the latest information on the budget and critical analysis of the economic outlook for the nonprofit sector. To register (tickets are $50) click here.

 It is critical for nonprofits and foundations to engage in these dialogues and keep up to speed on what the state's newly enacted tax increases and spending caps mean for everything from Illinois' economy and business climate, to capacity to core programs like education and social services. Join the panelists for a lively discussion on the interplay between adequately funding basic services and economic development.
