Nonprofit network throws support behind GIVE Act

By Tim Delaney
President & CEO of National Council of Nonprofit Associations

Thank you to the great number of NCNA Policy News (and HANO Agenda) readers who acted on our GIVE Act Action Alert. The State Association network has generated almost 1,000 detailed letters to Congress in support of the GIVE Act, caused publication of dozens of newspaper opinion pieces and, most importantly, secured additional co-sponsors for the bill. But passage will require sustained efforts over the next weeks.

When the companion House bill to the GIVE Act is introduced soon, we will be calling on you to write to your Representatives asking them to co-sponsor the House bill and to push for quick passage of the needed reforms into law.

Several legislative alternatives have been introduced but some would continue to treat charitable volunteers as substandard. To help you stay on top of the key distinctions among the bills pending, we prepared the following overview.
