In response to the release of the bipartisan Tax Relief for American Families and Workers Act, Tim Delaney, President & CEO of the National Council of Nonprofits, made the following statement:
“It is heartening that tax writers have come together with a bipartisan package of tax provisions to help support families, businesses, and individuals. Yet the vital tax incentive for charitable giving – that was allowed to expire at the end of 2021 – so far is absent from this important legislation. The charitable nonprofit sector is constantly called on by families, businesses, and communities to improve the wellbeing of others, but donations to do so are down; tax relief is urgently needed. We join with our colleagues from across the country in calling on Representatives and Senators to insist on restoration of the non-itemizer (universal) charitable deduction as a component of tax legislation that is enacted by Congress.”
