This talk will cover the history and development of the nonprofit sector in the United States, particularly as it relates to advocacy and the role of private, non-governmental organizations as agents of change in protecting and promoting civic engagement and democracy. The size and scope of the third, or independent, sector in the U.S. will be described as well as an overview of nonprofit activity in the northern state of Minnesota, home of the presenter, and historically home of some of the highest levels of nonprofit workforce categories and nonprofit lobbying activity in the nation.
