The 119th Congress has officially begun and there is much at stake for charitable nonprofits as lawmakers discuss tax and spending priorities. Thanks to National Council of Nonprofits (of which Tennessee Nonprofit Network is an ally member), nonprofits are coming together to inform Congress about the impact of charitable nonprofits, and why they (we) cannot be ignored.
Today, we urge you to sign the new Nonprofit Community letter. It seeks to impress upon policymakers some key facts about the sector – we’re significant employers; we pay taxes; we’re partners with governments; and are strictly nonpartisan in law, fact, and purpose. The bottom line is this: “As you consider legislation, we ask that you recognize that our nation’s charitable nonprofits are already working to solve many of the problems you will encounter, and that empowering their work is in the best interests of your constituents and communities.”
There is much at stake for charitable nonprofits as the 119th Congress gets busy on tax and spending priorities. Lawmakers will decide momentous policy questions that can have a profound impact – positive or negative – on the ability of local organizations to improve lives, strengthen communities, and advance the public good. We encourage you to join with Tennessee Nonprofit Network and nonprofits across the country in signing onto the Nonprofit Community Letter to ensure Representatives and Senators understand the importance and impact of charitable organizations to their constituents and communities.
