Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

MAKING OUR GOVERNMENT WORK BETTER IS CRITICAL TO STRENGTHENING AMERICAN DEMOCRACY. WE ARE A SMALL, NONPARTISAN ORGANIZATION SEEKING TO TRANSFORM A GOVERNMENT THAT EMPLOYES 2.1 MILLION CIVILIANS AND MANAGES TRILLONS OF DOLLARS IN TAXPAYER REVENUE NEEDED TO PROTECT PUBLIC SAFETY, HEALTH AND WELFARE.

Activities or mission (Part I)

THE PARTNERSHIP FOR PUBLIC SERVICE WORKS TO BUILD A BETTER GOVERNMENT AND A STRONGER DEMOCRACY.

  • PUBLIC SERVICE LEADERSHIP: THE PARTNERSHIP VIEWS LEADERSHIP AS THE MOST CRUCIAL FACTOR INFLUENCING FEDERAL AGENCY PERFORMANCE AND GOVERNMENT EFFECTIVENESS. BY DEVELOPING THE ABILITIES OF FEDERAL LEADERS AT ALL LEVELS, INCLUDING CAREER CIVIL SERVANTS AND POLITICAL APPOINTEES, AND PROVIDING FORUMS FOR THEM TO DISCUSS SHARED CHALLENGES AND SOLUTIONS, THE PARTNERSHIP HELPS LEADERS BECOME AGENTS OF CHANGE WITHIN THEIR OWN AGENCIES AND ACROSS GOVERNMENT. OUR APPROACH TO DEVELOPING LEADERS IS GROUNDED IN OUR PUBLIC SERVICE LEADERSHIP MODEL, WHICH OUTLINES CORE VALUES FEDERAL LEADERS MUST EMBODY STEWARDSHIP OF PUBLIC TRUST AND COMMITMENT TO THE PUBLIC GOOD AND OUTLINES THE COMPETENCIES THEY NEED IN A MODERN GOVERNMENT AND AT EACH STAGE OF THEIR LEADERSHIP CAREERS.

    Expenses $9,731,503 · Revenue $10,838,305

  • FEDERAL TALENT. GOVERNMENT HAS AN AGING WORKFORCE AND IS STRUGGLING TO ATTRACT THE TALENT, PARTICULARLY AMONG EARLY CAREER WORKERS, IT NEEDS SERVE THE PUBLIC. BY HELPING FEDERAL AGENCIES RECRUIT, HIRE AND RETAIN YOUNG TALENT, THE PARTNERSHIP SUPPORTS GOVERNMENT IN NOT ONLY REPLACING EMPLOYEES NEARING THE END OF THEIR CAREERS BUT ALSO BRINGING NEW SKILLS AND PERSPECTIVES THAT WILL HELP THE COUNTRY RISE TO THE SIGNIFICANT CHALLENGES OF THE DAY AND PREPARE FOR WHAT LIES AHEAD. IN ADDITION, TOP-PERFORMING ORGANIZATIONS HAVE HIGHLY ENGAGED EMPLOYEES WHO ARE CONNECTED TO THEIR MISSIONS AND CUSTOMERS. THE PARTNERSHIP'S BEST PLACES TO WORK IN THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT RANKINGS, BASED ON AN ANNUAL FEDERAL SURVEY, SERVE AS A VALUABLE TOOL TO EVALUATE EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT AND PINPOINT AREAS NEEDING IMPROVEMENT.

    Expenses $5,106,090 · Revenue $1,538,635

  • TO MAXIMIZE OUR IMPACT, THE PARTNERSHIP IS ALSO FOCUSING ON INTERNAL ORGANIZATIONAL CAPACITY-BUILDING TO ENSURE WE HAVE THE TALENT AND RESOURCES TO EFFECTIVELY DELIVER ON AND SUSTAIN OUR NONPARTISAN MISSION. THE PARTNERSHIP. OUR SUPPORT FOR A WELL-FUNCTIONING GOVERNMENT REQUIRES THE PARTNERSHIP TO EFFECTIVELY MEET OUR DOUBLE BOTTOM LINE OF MISSION IMPACT AND FINANCIAL STEWARDSHIP AND SUSTAINABILITY. WE MUST BE AN EMPLOYER OF CHOICE TO ATTRACT AND RETAIN TOP TALENT BASED ON INVESTMENTS IN OUR ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE, TALENT, LEADERSHIP AND SYSTEMS, STRUCTURES AND NETWORKS.

    Expenses $2,963,138

  • AMERICA IS EXPERIENCING A CRISIS IN PUBLIC TRUST OF GOVERNMENT. THIS LACK OF TRUST HAS SERIOUS IMPLICATIONS FOR HOW THE PUBLIC INTERACTS WITH OUR GOVERNMENT AND HOW FEDERAL AGENCIES RESPOND TO THE MAJOR CHALLENGES FACING THE COUNTRY. SUSTAINED STEWARDSHIP OF OUR INSTITUTIONS IS NOT POSSIBLE WITHOUT A RECEPTIVE AND ENGAGED PUBLIC THAT UNDERSTANDS THE ROLE GOVERNMENT PLAYS IN THEIR LIVES. THE PARTNERSHIP FOCUSES ON PROMOTING THE ACHIEVEMENTS AND STORIES OF PUBLIC SERVANTS ACROSS GOVERNMENT VIA THE SERVICE TO AMERICA MEDALS AND BROADER CAPACITY-BUILDING EFFORTS FOR GOVERNMENT TO MORE CAPABLY COMMUNICATE WITH, DELIVER FOR AND ENGAGE THE PUBLIC. WE ALSO REGULARLY ASSESS PUBLIC VIEWS OF GOVERNMENT PERFORMANCE, TRANSPARENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY AND GENERATE THOUGHT LEADERSHIP TO SUPPORT GOVERNMENT TRUST AND TRUSTWORTHINESS.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.

  • 3 · Independent compensation consultant
