The tax bill that the U.S. House and Senate will vote on this week will harm the ability of charitable nonprofits and foundations to address needs in communities and advance their missions. Take Action Now to urge our Representatives and Senators to Kill the Bill and Start Over.
The consequences of the tax bill will be devastating to the millions of people around the country who rely on charitable nonprofits and foundations for everything from food and shelter to faith-based sanctuaries and job training to a safe place to escape domestic abuse and enrichment through the arts. By necessity, spending cuts will be the immediate result of the enormous tax cuts, ensuring that nonprofit organizations that already have been stretched too far are simply going to have to turn people away, discontinue vital programs, and even close their doors entirely. All of these are the foreseeable results of a bill that adds more than a trillion dollars to the federal deficit while undermining incentives for giving back to the work of charitable nonprofits in our communities.
Every person committed to the mission of a charitable nonprofit or foundation needs to make Congress know the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act harms the people we serve and the ability of organizations dedicated to the public good to address community needs. We urge you to immediately take one or more of these steps.
Step 1: Call your U.S. Representative and Senators at 202-225-3121 and deliver this important message:
"I am a constituent and I stand with charitable nonprofits across the country in opposing the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The bill hurts nonprofits and the people we serve, and is a setback for our community. Vote No on the tax bill!"
