Don't Let Congress Hurt American Charities

Email not displaying correctly? View it in your browser. As I'm sure you know, Quipi, the focus in Washington of late has been on deficit reduction. Unfortunately, a powerful group of Senators wants to raise revenues by reducing key tax benefits for donating to charities. At a time when government services are being cut across the country, it doesn't make sense to make it harder for nonprofits to do their jobs. If anything, we should increase the incentives for individuals to donate, not reduce them. We need you to join us, along with our friends at Care2 and Network for Good, in asking the Senate and the President not to hurt charities by reducing tax deductions on donations. > It will only take you a moment to sign the petition. Making it harder to donate to charities would impact thousands of nonprofits and the people who rely on them. Given that even President Obama's recent budget proposal includes cutting the charitable giving tax break, it's more important than ever that we act now. More than 58,000 people have already joined us in signing the petition, but we need to gather more than 100,000 signatures to make sure our voices are heard. Please make yours the next. Thank you in advance for taking action, and for your continued support, Holly & the NTEN Team ----- Holly Ross Executive Director NTEN: The Nonprofit Technology Network 1020 SW Taylor Street, #800 Portland, OR 97205 http://www.nten.org holly@nten.org, 415.397.9000
