Trump Budget Bill Spells Trouble for Nonprofits - Non Profit News | Nonprofit Quarterly
Briefly

President Trump's proposed budget package poses challenges for nonprofits, with significant cuts to social services like Medicaid and food assistance. Nonprofit leaders argue that these budget cuts will strain resources as they face increasing demand for services. While the package suggests a universal tax deduction for charitable giving, it also introduces provisions that may discourage donations from individuals and corporations. Overall, advocates warn that the bill decreases funding for essential nonprofit services, which is detrimental to communities that rely on these organizations.
The bill also harms millions of people by taking away their access to healthcare and food assistance, putting greater pressure on nonprofit organizations.
Despite some good news in the form of a proposed universal tax deduction for charitable giving for non-itemizing taxpayers, the bill also includes provisions that disincentivize charitable giving by individuals and corporations that would seem to more than offset those gains.
This tax bill falls far short of meeting the growing needs of the nonprofit sector to fill gaps unmet by government and the private sector.
Overall reduces resources available to nonprofit organizations, negatively impacting their ability to provide essential services to their local communities.
