Tim Delaney of the National Council of Nonprofits underscored the concern that the federal government has not been paying sufficient attention to nonprofits.  According to Delaney, the federal government can count heads of iceberg lettuce in the ground, but not how many people work for nonprofits—or what they need.  Delaney called it a veil of invisibility around the nonprofit sector.

Among the many state nonprofit associations represented in the crowd, Brian Magee of the Montana Nonprofit Association told NPQ that he hoped that this effort would help galvanize and coordinate federal attention to rural nonprofit issues and communities. Doug Sauer of the New York Council of Nonprofits noted that the government/nonprofit dynamic isn’t just a federal issue and called for McCollum’s bill to be replicated in all 50 states.

Alliance of Arizona Nonprofits“In Arizona, nonprofits are the heart of the community. We are too important to be invisible. For too long, government has ignored the nonprofit sector, which employs 10 percent of America’s work force and is often an unrecognized partner in delivering government services,” Patrick McWhortor, president and CEO of the Alliance of Arizona Nonprofits.

Tim Delaney, president and CEO of the National Council of Nonprofits, said his organization supports the measure. “This landmark legislation removes the cloak of invisibility that the federal government seems to have draped over the nonprofit sector,” he said.

Among Rep. McCollum’s supporters is the National Council of Nonprofits, whose mission is to force legislators to recognize the involvement of nonprofits in America and its communities. Council president Tim Delaney said that nonprofit organizations nationwide are not receiving the governmental recognition that they deserve.

“We have a government that can tell us with precision how many iceberg lettuce heads were pulled out of the ground last year,” Delaney said. “Yet it cannot tell us how many heads of individuals were employed by nonprofits. Why are iceberg lettuce heads more valuable than the people who take care of America’s communities?”

Nonprofit leaders and experts gathered on Capitol Hill today to praise newly unveiled legislation that aims to raise the profile of the charitable world in Washington.

"We have a government that counts iceberg-lettuce heads and can tell us how many iceberg-lettuce heads were put on the ground last year," Tim Delaney, president of the National Council of Nonprofits, said at a press conference. "Yet it cannot tell us how many heads of individuals were employed by nonprofits. Why are iceberg-lettuce heads more valuable than the people who take care of America's communities?"

The new bill, the Nonprofit Sector and Community Solutions Act, H.R. 5533, was introduced Tuesday evening by Rep. Betty McCollum, Democrat of Minnesota. It would create two new governing bodies to make recommendations about federal policy affecting charities and require federal agencies to step up their collection of data about such organizations.

Betty McCollum, a Democratic congresswoman from Minnesota, plans to introduce legislation on Wednesday to get the federal government to pay more attention to the economic impact of the nonprofit world.

The Nonprofit Sector and Community Solutions Act would create two new bodies to make recommendations about federal policy affecting charities and require federal agencies to step up their collection of data about such organizations.

She plans to unveil the bill at a Capitol Hill press conference on Wednesday surrounded by nonprofit leaders, including representatives of the National Council of Nonprofits, which is holding its annual membership meeting this week.

North Dakota Association of Nonprofit Organizations"If those nonprofits weren`t there to help provide those services, you`d see probably an increase in your taxes. You might see a loss of services, especially in the human services, homeless coalitions, and education," said Mitch Monson, the president of the North Dakota Association of Nonprofit Organizations.

"We`re being asked to do so much more for people. While resources are coming down, donations are down from individuals, corporations and foundations," said Tim Delaney of the National Council of Nonprofits.

Amid Red Ink, Tax-Exempts Asked To Add To Coffers

New York Council of NonprofitsState and local governments, eager to close their budget gaps, are increasingly going after charities and other tax-exempt groups. Government officials are proposing new fees on nonprofits to help pay for services. They're also challenging the exemptions these groups get from sales and property taxes.

Tim Delaney, president of the National Council of Nonprofits, says these moves couldn't come at a worse time.

"Corporate donations are down significantly. Individual giving is down. Foundation giving is down substantially," even though demand for charitable services is up, he says. Delaney says adding more costs will only hurt taxpayers in the long run because there's high demand for the types of services — such as health care and food pantries — that many nonprofits provide.

Doug Sauer, head of the New York Council of Nonprofits, agrees that well-off groups should chip in more if they can. "All it takes is public opinion to switch on this," he says. "So we want to protect the integrity of the exemption, but we also want people to be accountable for the privilege of being able to have exempt property."

A new Johns Hopkins University survey has revealed widespread innovation among the nation’s nonprofits, as well as efforts by those organizations to measure their programs’ effectiveness. The vast majority (82 percent) of responding organizations reported implementing an innovative program or service within the past five years, and 85 percent reported measuring program effectiveness.

The Listening Post Project is a collaborative undertaking of the Center for Civil Society Studies at the Johns Hopkins University Institute for Policy Studies, Alliance for Children and Families, Alliance for Nonprofit Management, American Association of Homes and Services for the Aging, American Association of Museums, Community Action Partnership, League of American Orchestras, Lutheran Services in America, Michigan Nonprofit Association, National Council of Nonprofits and United Neighborhood Centers of America. Its goal is to monitor the health of the nation’s nonprofit organizations and assess how nonprofits are responding to important economic and policy changes.
