referred to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform
_______________________________________________________________________
RESOLUTION
Recognizing the nonprofit sector and the contributions of nonprofit
employees, and expressing support for August 17, 2025, to be designated
as ``National Nonprofit Day''.
Whereas there are 1,300,000 nonprofits across the United States that feed, heal,
shelter, educate, nurture, and inspire people of all ages;
Whereas nonprofit organizations are the Nation's third-largest employer,
employing more than 12,000,000 people and representing 5.6 percent of
the United States overall gross domestic product;
Whereas 92 percent of nonprofits are small and community-based, serving local
needs;
Whereas nonprofits are trusted community touchstones and allies in designing and
implementing the work of government;
Whereas, without nonprofit partners, Federal programs would be run less
efficiently and require more taxpayer dollars; and
Whereas August 17, 2025, would be an appropriate date to designate as ``National
Nonprofit Day'': Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
(1) recognizes the contributions of nonprofits and
nonprofit workers;
(2) supports the designation of ``National Nonprofit Day'';
and
(3) recognizes the benefits nonprofits bring to communities
across the United States.
