Current Advocacy Efforts
The NCN has identified at least three areas of
challenges that must be addressed by policymakers.
 
1.   Resources - charitable giving is down and giving incentives enacted by Congress have expired. Nonprofits are ramping up to call on Congress and the Administration to restore the universal charitable (non-itemizer) deduction, the 100% AGI cap on individual donations, and the 25% income tax cap on corporate donations.
 
2.   Workforce Shortage - Charitable organizations are also calling for action to help remedy the devastating and well-documented nonprofit workforce shortage. Solutions include the Employee Retention Tax Credit, the WORK NOW Act nonprofit grants and jobs program, and the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program.
 
3. Volunteerism - nonprofits are seeking capacity building grants to assist in volunteer generation and management and relief for volunteer drivers.

Action Items
We will be keeping you up to date on the advocacy efforts being made on behalf of the nonprofit sector and hope you will take action when needed to advance these priorities.
1.   Advancing H.R. 6161: Employee Retention Tax Credit Reinstatement Act, H.R. 6161, to restore eligibility for the ERTC for the fourth quarter of 2021. The updated ERTC coalition Letter in support of H.R. 6161 now has 62 national organizational signers, 38 of which represent charitable nonprofits. ACTION ITEMS: Sign the Coalition Letter - The coalition letter has been sent but will be updated regularly as more organizations sign on (note: the target date for introduction is now February 10.

2.   State of the Nonprofit Sector Survey: The Nonprofit Finance Fund State of the Nonprofit Sector Survey is open and will run through February 28, 2022. In the past, its findings have been widely used and cited by nonprofit leaders and boards, funders, advocates, policymakers, media, researchers, and many others. ACTION ITEM: Take the Survey.
