Nonprofit leaders are expressing significant concerns about a provision in the recent GOP-led tax legislation that would allow the U.S. treasury secretary to unilaterally classify a nonprofit as a "terrorist supporting organization". This classification could lead to the stripping of their tax-exempt status without due process. Critics believe it threatens to silence nonprofits that serve vulnerable populations by introducing punitive measures they see as politically motivated, echoing similar past legislative attempts seen during the Trump administration.
Translation of our community message into practice will significantly shape the trust we build with nonprofits and the resources they provide to vulnerable populations.
The provision embedded in the new tax legislation poses serious risks to the integrity and operational continuity of nonprofit organizations that have been indispensable to our communities.
