Webinars for Wise Nonprofits: Conquering Contracts Webinar Series, Part II: Breaking Through the Boilerplate: New York City Human Services Contracts

Contracting with the government to provide social services can be an important source of revenue for nonprofits, but it also poses unique challenges. This webinar will review the general structure of the standard human services contract used by New York City agencies with nonprofit service providers and will provide an explanation of key contract terms. It will also cover certain risks involved with City contracting and possible ways to reduce or otherwise mitigate risks, with a focus on risks related to confidentiality provisions, contract timing, and payment. This webinar, which is part of our Conquering Contracts series, will focus specifically on the New York City Human Services Standard Contract. Be sure to review Part I and III of this Contracts series, available on our website.
