** Leadership Weekly
------------------------------------------------------------
In this Leadership Weekly, we explore the legacy of Lester Salamon, a nonprofit researcher whose field-defining voice remains as relevant as ever. Megan Haddock shows us how Salamon saw the value of nonprofits and civil society at a time when this task was near-impossible due to missing data and systemic misperceptions. We excerpt from his pathbreaking text in nonprofit studies, which uses data and an understanding of power to trace the evolution of civil society and the nonprofit sector. In an article from this spring, Salamon identifies “equity gaps” in the US digital landscape—made even starker by a pandemic that has largely digitized access to education, health, and government services—and argues for federal funding of a foundation dedicated to narrowing this equity gap. Using Salamon’s research on employment in the nonprofit sector, our last article looks at differences in how nonprofits were impacted by COVID-19.
