Tell Congress to Support Their Local Charities

Charities are on the front-line of the response to the coronavirus and its economic fallout. Right now, Congress is preparing a trillion-dollar economic relief package.  A group of national nonprofits, including United Way, is calling on Congress to include $60 billion to help charities keep their doors open and continue to provide help in communities. Join us. There will be a surge of need as hundreds of thousands of individuals lose work and can't pay their bills. At the same time, we expect significant drops in giving and program revenue. American charities will play a crucial role in recovery from this crisis and we need Congress to support our efforts.  We urge you to call your members of Congress now and ask them to support charitable organizations through the coronavirus pandemic. Click here and enter your address to access phone numbers of your members of Congress and suggested language for your call.
