Given this state of affairs, those who work to satisfy the needs of people through the non-profit sector should embrace the coming era of devolution. Devolution will be good for non-profits, increasing pressure on them to maintain the highest ethical standards and produce greater and greater results. Because of the coming devolution, America has an urgent need to build its strength, numbers, and effectiveness of the non-profit sector. Americans are some of the most generous people on earth. To be effective, devolution must be pushed as far as it will go.
State governments can be just as bureaucratic and burdensome as the federal government.
We must bring power and money back to the communities, families, and people from whom they were taken. This will enable more people to support non-profits, providing effective groups with more diversity and stability in funding. Perhaps, best of all, by enhancing community involvement, the service rendered by non-profits will be improved. Devolution is an impending political reality. Ideological agreement or disagreement with this trend is irrelevant.
