Nonprofit Congress

Nonprofits: America Needs You

Now more than ever, America needs its nonprofits to be strong. But nonprofits cannot be healthy when demands for services are skyrocketing while resources are also nose-diving. Here is how YOU can help your nonprofit and others:

The U.S. Senate is debating TODAY whether to pass two measures that would help nonprofits and volunteers. Contact your Senators RIGHT NOW to deliver this simple two-part message:

1) The Senate should ADOPT the Baucus-Grassley Nonprofit Capacity Building amendment to the Serve America Act.

The Nonprofit Capacity Building amendment will help community-based nonprofits get needed training and assistance through an innovative matching grant program. (See our website for more details.)

2) The Senate should PASS the Serve America Act.

The Serve America Act (S. 277) would expand the number of AmeriCorps members, create new service opportunities, and make other resources available to help local communities across the country. (See our website for more details.)

To help local communities, WE NEED YOU to contact YOUR government officials to deliver the simple two-part message above.

Please make these quick phone calls RIGHT NOW:

1) Call both of your two U.S. Senators (click here for a map with easy phone numbers)

2) Call the White House (which can help influence this in a positive way): (202) 456-1111

Thank you. By lifting our voices together, we can make a difference for our communities.
