Budget Reconciliation and the Charitable Sector Webinar with National Council of Nonprofits

Congress is working furiously to pass “One Big Beautiful Bill”, implementing much of President Trump’s agenda on taxes, health care, energy policy, and more. While any proposal of this size and scope would significantly affect the charitable sector, the version that passed the House of Representatives early on May 22 could be particularly damaging for our organizations and the people we serve.

How would the proposals under consideration impact charitable giving, grantmaking, and the nonprofit workforce? And how can organizations best engage right now to shape legislation that protects and strengthens the charitable sector?

Tune in to hear the latest from policy staff at sector-spanning organizations and other trusted advisors.
