On May 22, the U.S. House of Representatives voted to approve a major tax bill that includes several provisions that could significantly harm nonprofit organizations and the people they serve.
Please use this form created by our national partner, the National Council of Nonprofits (NCN), to contact your members of Congress about the following measures:
- OPPOSE new or expanded taxes on foundations and nonprofits. These proposals (Section 112022 and Section 112024) divert scarce resources away from essential services, undermine the ability of charitable nonprofit organizations to meet needs in their communities, and put greater strain on government.
- OPPOSE limits on charitable donations as a “pay for” for the bill. These proposals (Section 110011 and Section 112027) discourage charitable donations made by corporations and individuals, ultimately leaving nonprofit organizations with fewer resources to serve their community.
- SUPPORT and EXPAND tax incentives for charitable giving. Congress should include in the tax reconciliation bill the Charitable Act, introduced by Sen. Lankford (R-OK), Sen. Coons (D-DE), Rep. Moore (R-UT), and Rep. Pappas (D-NH) to create a non-itemizer tax incentive for charitable donations to nonprofit organizations. See NCN’s one-pager on the Charitable Act.
Here are updated resources from NCN on the tax bill:
- Updated analysis of the tax bill.
- One-pager on NCN’s top priorities.
- Chart of the tax provisions.
Again, you can contact your members of Congress using this form. Please reach out with any questions.
