Life in the nonprofit sector isn’t always easy. In fact, it can get downright untenable for those with significant student loan balances. The Public Service Loan Forgiveness program should represent a much-needed lifeline for nonprofit workers who are having a hard time keeping their heads above water, but it has been plagued by cumbersome requirements and alarming mismanagement. Recent changes to the program have helped over one million borrowers gain additional forgiveness. Could you or your employees be among them? Join IS Thursday, June 30 at 2:00 PM ET for a special policy update webinar with Ashley Harrington, an expert from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Federal Student Aid, and learn more.
A well-functioning loan forgiveness program certainly matters to those who are directly affected, but it is equally important for the nonprofit sector’s ability to attract and retain a diverse pool of qualified employees. Hear how the Department of Education’s temporary waiver could give borrowers more paths to forgiveness and what needs to be done before the waiver expires.
In addition to these updates on loan forgiveness, this session will also dig into the latest policy updates from Washington. Will a Build Back Better deal finally unlock much-needed investments in civic infrastructure, like child care and workforce development? While key tax incentives for charitable giving remain expired, will legislators take more targeted action for middle-income givers? Join this conversation about what it all means for our sector and those we serve.
