Anticipating significant tax legislation in 2025, ASAE announced today the launch of the Community Impact Coalition — a unified initiative dedicated to educating the 119th Congress about the social and economic benefits of associations, charities, and other tax-exempt organizations.
The Community Impact Coalition is a national group formed this year to represent the non-profit community in light of unprecedented attempts to find new sources of federal revenue to finance tax reform.
The Community Impact Coalition is committed to ensuring lawmakers understand the value of 501(c) organizations and advocating against proposals that would eliminate their tax-exempt status. A wide range of trade associations, charities, and professional societies support the Community Impact Coalition, among them the Institute of Hazardous Materials Management [IHMM].
Glad to see this!
Non-profits that receive donations from private citizens and corporations, who in-turn receive tax credits for these donations (capped annually), will undoubtedly continue to be treated favorably. Non-profits that solely operate on “grants” from federal and local governments, and maintain their non-profit status by spending the majority of funding on themselves (salaries), are (and should) be scrutinized.
“Will undoubtedly” is something we never count on with Congress. We show up, and do the work because here we play all 9 innings. Then we’ll see.
