      <Desc>Public Policy/Advocacy - The National Council of Nonprofits works with charitable nonprofits to champion the public good, improving lives and communities through our advocacy and public policy work at the federal, state, and local levels and by building the capacity of nonprofits to engage in everyday advocacy.

        <Desc>COMMUNICATIONS - The National Council of Nonprofits is the trusted go-to resource for and about the nonprofit sector, providing practical information that nonprofits use in their everyday operations. In addition, our publications illuminate for everyone, from policymakers to journalists to everyday donors, the challenges nonprofits face and the extent to which the public good depends upon a flourishing nonprofit sector. Reporters from Bloomberg, the New York Times, Politico, Tax Analysts, the Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, and many other print and broadcast news outlets regularly call on our experts to discuss nonprofit operations and the impacts of public policy proposals on the work of nonprofits. All our strategic initiatives strive to raise public awareness about nonprofits and their role: what they are, what they do, and how their actions as problem solvers benefit individuals and communities.

        <Desc>NETWORK SUPPORT - At the National Council of Nonprofits, to achieve our vision of a connected and powerful nonprofit community championing the public good, we begin our work by connecting nonprofits. We do our work primarily with and through our unique core network of state associations of nonprofits, and their more than 25,000 nonprofit members, which combine to create North America's largest network of nonprofits. Our impact begins with a strong core network. That is why we work in countless ways to increase the strength, reach, and effectiveness of our members to serve charitable nonprofits. In 2021, we helped our members build their in-house advocacy expertise, improve communications with their members and the public, and connect more deeply so we collectively can respond with alacrity and agility when policy opportunities and threats affecting nonprofits arise.

        <Desc>LEGISLATIVE/LOBBYING ACTIVITIES - The National Council of Nonprofits exercises the First Amendment and statutory rights enjoyed by charitable nonprofits to petition governments by engaging in direct and grassroots lobbying to promote legislation that supports the work of the nonprofit community and oppose proposals that would hinder the ability of nonprofits to improve the quality of life for individuals and communities. The National Council of Nonprofits has elected to apply the cost-expenditure standards available under section 501(h) of the Internal Revenue Code because that section provides charitable nonprofit organizations with clear and objective guidelines for ensuring full compliance with the law and their rights and obligations to pursue their missions through advocacy. The National Council of Nonprofits and its staff comply in all respects with federal lobbying disclosure laws.</Desc>

        <ExplanationTxt>PUBLIC POLICY/ADVOCACY - The National Council of Nonprofits works with charitable nonprofits to champion the public good, improving lives and communities through our advocacy and public policy work at the federal, state, and local levels and by building the capacity of nonprofits to engage in everyday advocacy. We consistently deliver the policy analysis and effective strategies on which the nonprofit sector relies. Through our core network of state associations of nonprofits and their more than 25,000 nonprofit members in local communities across the country, we leverage our unique position as the only nationwide, sector-wide organization that monitors policy matters of sector-wide importance and then engages on challenges and opportunities both vertically (local, state, federal) and horizontally (legislative, executive, judicial). We identify policy trends emerging in the field and across state lines, plus we support nonprofits in building their capacity to engage in everyday advocacy that advances their missions. In 2021, we concentrated heavily on three interrelated issues: 1) expanding the amount of financial resources available to support the frontline work of nonprofits responding to COVID by ensuring that charitable nonprofits were included in multiple aspects of the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA); 2) working with the nonprofit community to identify how nonprofits could access and use the benefits secured through relief and recovery legislation and regulations; and 3) identifying and addressing the growing nonprofit workforce shortage, a crisis which ultimately hurts the public when nonprofits cannot deliver enough services due to lack of staffing. We leveraged significant new resources for nonprofits in 2021 to help them survive the continuing health and economic crises. For example, we worked to ensure that ARPA contained additional funding for PPP loans and expanded PPP eligibility to nonprofits with more than 500 employees, which had been unfairly excluded in the earlier rounds. We also, working closely with our coalition partners, got the application deadline extended so nonprofits would have time to apply. This expanded eligibility and extended time for applying increased the total amount of forgivable PPP loans received by nonprofits to $50 billion, which the SBA reported helped protect 6.2 million nonprofit jobs. The collective efforts of our core network and partners, combined with our expertise and leadership, enabled hundreds of thousands of nonprofits to keep their doors open to meet the sharply higher demand for assistance to people as the pandemic dragged on. We also succeeded in making charitable nonprofits explicitly eligible for funding from ARPA's $350 billion in recovery funds to state, local, and Tribal governments through the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Relief Fund. Recognizing that eligibility for funds was no guarantee that nonprofits would receive any funds, we launched a major information initiative for nonprofits and state and local governments. We published a special report, "Strengthening State and Local Economies in Partnership with Nonprofits," calling attention to this opportunity for government-nonprofit partnerships and sharing processes used effectively in 2020 for CARES Act funding programs. Several months later, we issued an expanded version, updating the original by providing nearly 80 examples of governments across the country investing parts of their ARPA allocations in nonprofits. Those examples then served as models inspiring governments and nonprofits elsewhere to envision and implement equitable and innovative, yet practical, solutions to use this once-in-a-generation funding to improve lives and local communities. Through our core and extended nationwide networks, we learned about the significant difficulties front-line organizations have had retaining staff and filling vacancies. The pandemic and economic crises sharpened competition for workers as for-profit businesses paid signing bonuses, childcare became less available and less affordable, and the public's need for services increased. This was exacerbated by both longstanding and new problems with government grants and contracts. We fielded a national survey to gauge the scope of the problem and determine the impact on nonprofits' ability to advance their missions. We then developed and published a widely-circulated and cited report on "Nonprofit Workforce Shortages," which shared our analysis of the growing crises, based on responses from 1,000+ nonprofits in all 50 states. The report documented the many causes for the nonprofit workforce shortages, identified a sampling of the significant adverse consequences to people seeking services when nonprofits do not have enough staff, and advanced 10 solutions that could be pursued immediately. In 2021, the National Council of Nonprofits engaged in policy work vertically - at the federal, state, and local levels of governments. For example, in addition to successfully advocating that Congress include charitable nonprofits in relief programs of ARPA - including increasing federal unemployment coverage for self-insuring nonprofits to 75% - we supported our member state associations of nonprofits as they fought to have their states cover the rest. We also provided guidance to nonprofits seeking access to ARPA funds allocated to local county and city governments. In 2021, the National Council of Nonprofits also continued to engage on policy matters horizontally - in the legislative, executive, and judicial branches. For instance, in the regulatory arena, we flagged for the IRS what rules it needs to update; called on the SBA to revise some anti-nonprofit practices; analyzed and proposed improvements to the (now-withdrawn) OSHA emergency temporary standard on vaccinations; and engaged in rulemaking at the Department of Education, Department of Labor, Office of Management and Budget, and Treasury Department. We also researched, wrote, and submitted an amicus curiae brief in the U.S. Supreme Court to alert Justices to the danger of "inadvertently weakening the ability of charitable nonprofits to provide services to the millions of people who depend on them daily." We continued our efforts in 2021 to reform antiquated and broken government-nonprofit grantmaking and contracting systems at the federal, state, and local levels. During the COVID-19 crisis, some state and local governments stopped paying nonprofits for the amounts governments contractually owed for work nonprofits had already performed - further harming the ability of already overstretched nonprofits to deliver on skyrocketing demands for services. We focused primarily on collaborative problem-solving with governments to reduce costs for governments and nonprofits alike, while enhancing transparency and improving performance for the beneficiaries of services.</ExplanationTxt>

        <ExplanationTxt>NETWORK SUPPORT - At the National Council of Nonprofits, to achieve our vision of a connected and powerful nonprofit community championing the public good, we begin by connecting nonprofits. We do our work primarily with and through our unique networks, composed of our member state associations of nonprofits, their members, and our state policy ally members, collectively creating the largest network of nonprofits in North America. Our impact begins with a strong core network. That is why we work in countless ways to increase the strength, reach, and effectiveness of our direct members to serve charitable nonprofits. As part of our connecting work to support our core network, we coordinate many common activities of the state association network as well as identify emerging trends, share proven practices, and promote solutions that benefit all charitable nonprofits and the people and communities they serve. Even under the stresses of the COVID-19 crisis, all our members renewed their membership, demonstrating their recognition of the value in being part of the network. We welcomed two new Nonprofit Allies, in Kansas and Tennessee, bringing our direct membership to 48. At the end of 2021, we invited three new Nonprofit Allies - in South Dakota, Texas, and Virginia - into the network. In addition, we retained our "State Policy Allies," national nonprofits with state policy operations, such as Meals on Wheels and YMCA. The heightened sense of camaraderie that emerged in response to the interrelated crises of 2020 carried forward and through 2021 as we worked to engage and support the state associations' staff members across the country. We surveyed our members to determine whether the pandemic is hurting their membership rates; fortunately, membership appears to be strong thus far as evidenced by renewal rates, engagement, and other metrics. In addition to dozens of network policy calls, we held 14 Network Calls spanning the country to support information exchanges and promote peer learning on operational matters such as virtual and hybrid conferences, working with the media, the state association role in encouraging equitable vaccine distribution, accessing grants, learning programs, a continuing series, "Supporting Our Networks during COVID-19 and Beyond," and more. We held our Network Learning Confab virtually again, applying lessons learned about successful virtual gatherings. We again designed the event for simultaneous coverage across six time zones and offered one flat organization-wide price for all staff and board members to attend. The inclusive pricing and accessible schedule resulted in higher participation and stellar ratings for the second year in a row. Our Board of Directors established a Task Force to clarify their own internal DE&amp;I work and to help provide direction to the staff. Our Board's Membership Committee continued its work to identify and share racial equity programs across our network. When traffic to our already top-ranked DE&amp;I pages jumped 250% to more than 5,000 visitors/month in the second half of 2020, we revised and updated the pages and added a new section identifying practitioners with whom we have worked directly. In 2021, more than 3,000+ people continued to visit those pages each month, still far above pre-2020 levels.</ExplanationTxt>

        <ExplanationTxt>COMMUNICATIONS - The National Council of Nonprofits is the trusted go-to resource for and about the nonprofit sector, providing practical information that nonprofits use in their everyday operations. In addition, our publications illuminate for everyone, from policymakers to journalists to everyday donors, the challenges nonprofits face and the extent to which the public good depends upon a flourishing nonprofit sector. All our strategic initiatives strive to raise public awareness about nonprofits and their role: what they are, what they do, and how their actions as problem solvers benefit individuals and communities. The National Council of Nonprofits utilizes multiple communications vehicles to spread trusted information. For instance, in 2021, we welcomed 1.7 million unique visitors to our website, www.councilofnonprofits.org, which we update daily and has been one of the primary sources of information and guidance for the nonprofit sector on responding to the COVID-19 crisis. Through our website, our blog, our bi-weekly policy e-newsletter, "Nonprofit Advocacy Updates" (with nearly 53,000 subscribers), and our monthly operations/capacity building e-newsletter, "Nonprofit Knowledge Monthly" (with more than 36,000 subscribers), in 2021 the Council of Nonprofits provided timely, practical information to nonprofit staff members, board members, donors, journalists, government employees and officials, accountants, attorneys, consultants, academics, and others in all 50 states. The 37 regular editions of the two newsletters every year, plus occasional special editions, help spread information, gather intelligence, provide sense-making, and offer perspective. To inform the public and increase charitable giving to nonprofits in local communities, we actively engaged with mainstream media. Successful engagement with the media results in properly framed coverage that advances nonprofit messaging, regardless of whether we are referenced by name. Reporters from Bloomberg, the New York Times, Politico, Tax Analysts, the Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, and many other print and broadcast news outlets regularly call on our experts to discuss nonprofit operations and the impacts of public policy proposals on the work of nonprofits Press inquiries continued at a high rate in 2021. We were interviewed, quoted, or our advocacy work and publications cited hundreds of times during the year, in dozens of different publications, national and local, print, television, and radio. In 2021, we presented several free national webinars to help nonprofits on a range of topics, including "What's in the New COVID Relief Law for Nonprofits?", "How Every Nonprofit Can Help the Communities We Serve Get Vaccinated," and "What Nonprofits Need to Know as Staff and Volunteers Return from Remote Work to In-Person Operations." Thousands registered for these webinars and thousands more viewed the recordings. As soon as the ARPA was signed into law, we prepared free materials and programs to help nonprofits understand and apply for these and other opportunities. We then worked with the White House to organize a special ARPA briefing for front-line nonprofits and mobilized more than 5,000 people to attend. Our webinars can be viewed on our YouTube channel at www.youtube.com/user/natlcouncilofnps. Our special "Nonprofit Impact Matters" report, launched in 2019, told the story of the nonprofit community from the nonprofit perspective on a nationwide and sector-wide basis for the first time. To keep data fresh, we frequently update the microsite housing the report, www.nonprofitimpactmatters.org, with the latest research and curated reports on the sector. In 2021, more than 18,000 users visited the report to gain basic information and practical insights about America's charitable nonprofits. We increasingly engage in data collection, curation, and analysis, both directly (such as the "Nonprofit Workforce Shortage" survey and report discussed in the Public Policy/Advocacy section above) and when others request our assistance. In 2021, researchers from the Federal Reserve approached us, informing us that when designing their own surveys in 2020, they relied heavily on our page "Data on How the Pandemic and Economic Crises Are Affecting Nonprofits." Last summer, they sought our help in designing and distributing a new national survey. We worked with the Fed researchers to analyze the data for a piece we published with our analysis of the data and partnered to present a public webinar featuring our VP of Public Policy and the Chair of our Board's Public Policy Committee. Also, in late 2021, we again worked with the Nonprofit Finance Fund on their bi-annual survey, helping shape survey questions to capture essential operational and advocacy data and then distributing the survey instrument through our network to increase the number of survey responses and gain data and insights from across the country. The resources we create and share strengthen the capacities of individual nonprofits and raise awareness about sector-wide issues impacting sustainability and mission effectiveness. For example, we continued to expand and refine our focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion in 2021. Additionally, National Council of Nonprofits staff members delivered speeches, presentations, and webinars across the country (mainly remotely, due to COVID), for nonprofit, corporate, government, and foundation groups, on a wide variety of topics - from advocacy and public policy to ethics and leadership.</ExplanationTxt>

        <ExplanationTxt>(Expenses $ 62,064 including grants of $) LEGISLATIVE/LOBBYING ACTIVITIES - The National Council of Nonprofits exercises the First Amendment and statutory rights enjoyed by charitable nonprofits to petition governments by engaging in direct and grassroots lobbying to promote legislation that supports the work of the nonprofit community and oppose proposals that would hinder the ability of nonprofits to improve the quality of life for individuals and communities. The National Council of Nonprofits has elected to apply the cost-expenditure standards available under section 501(h) of the Internal Revenue Code because that section provides charitable nonprofit organizations with clear and objective guidelines for ensuring full compliance with the law and their rights and obligations to pursue their missions through advocacy. The National Council of Nonprofits and its staff comply in all respects with federal lobbying disclosure laws.</ExplanationTxt>
