(CONTINUED ON SCHEDULE O)PUBLIC POLICY/ADVOCACY - THE NATIONAL COUNCIL OF NONPROFITS HELPS CHARITABLE NONPROFITS ADVANCE THEIR MISSIONS THROUGH ADVOCACY AND PUBLIC POLICY AT THE FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL LEVELS. MUCH OF THIS POLICY WORK IS DEFENSIVE IN NATURE, STOPPING BAD PROPOSALS THAT WOULD HURT THE ABILITY OF NONPROFITS TO SERVE INDIVIDUALS AND COMMUNITIES; SOME OF THIS WORK IS PROACTIVE, AS IN SEEKING TO REFORM BROKEN GOVERNMENT SYSTEMS; AND PART OF THIS WORK INVOLVES HELPING NONPROFITS BUILD THEIR CAPACITY TO ENGAGE IN EVERYDAY ADVOCACY THAT ADVANCES THEIR MISSIONS.THROUGH OUR NETWORK OF STATE ASSOCIATIONS OF NONPROFITS AND THEIR MORE THAN 25,000 NONPROFIT MEMBERS IN LOCAL COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY, WE USE OUR UNIQUE POSITION TO FOCUS ON STATE POLICY MATTERS VIA MONITORING ACTIVITIES, IDENTIFYING AND HIGHLIGHTING TRENDS, AND SUPPORTING NONPROFITS ACROSS STATE LINES AS THE ONLY NATIONAL NONPROFIT INFRASTRUCTURE GROUP FOCUSING ON SECTOR-WIDE ISSUES IN COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY. THE NATIONAL COUNCIL OF NONPROFITS ALSO WORKS TO PROTECT THE NONPROFIT SECTOR ON A VARIETY OF FEDERAL POLICY ISSUES WHERE OUR UNIQUE GRASSROOTS NETWORKS CAN MOST EFFECTIVELY AFFECT POLICY DECISIONS. FOR EXAMPLE, 2016 BEGAN WITH A VICTORY FOR ALL CHARITABLE NONPROFITS, AND THE PUBLIC, AS THE IRS WITHDREW ITS PROPOSED RULE FOR NONPROFITS TO SUBSTANTIATE CONTRIBUTIONS THEY RECEIVED BY COLLECTING AND REPORTING DONORS' SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBERS. WE AGGRESSIVELY OPPOSED THE PROPOSAL THROUGH THE MEDIA AND OUR WORK BUILDING A BROAD COALITION BECAUSE IT WOULD HAVE MADE DONORS VULNERABLE TO IDENTITY THEFT, CURTAILED FUNDRAISING, AND EXPOSED NONPROFITS TO LIABILITY. THE IRS'S CHANGE OF HEART WAS UNQUESTIONABLY INFLUENCED BY OUR NETWORK'S and coalition's SUCCESS IN MOBILIZING MORE THAN 37,000 PEOPLE TO FILE COMMENTS IN OPPOSITION.IN 2016, OUR NETWORK PREVENTED THE DIVERSION OF RESOURCES DEVOTED TO ADVANCING CHARITABLE MISSIONS IN COMMUNITIES BY WORKING TO DEFEAT POLICY THREATS TO CHARITABLE GIVING INCENTIVES, PROPERTY AND SALES TAX EXEMPTIONS, AND NONPROFIT INDEPENDENCE IN MULTIPLE STATES.THE NATIONAL COUNCIL OF NONPROFITS CONTINUED ITS EFFORTS IN 2016 TO REFORM FLAWED GOVERNMENT-NONPROFIT GRANTMAKING AND CONTRACTING SYSTEMS BECAUSE DATA DEMONSTRATE THAT THIS WORK CAN HAVE THE MOST IMMEDIATE AND SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON NONPROFIT PERFORMANCE AND SUSTAINABILITY. BECAUSE GOVERNMENTS DEPEND ON NONPROFITS TO DELIVER SERVICES TO THE PUBLIC, THE NONPROFIT SECTOR AS A WHOLE EARNS ALMOST A THIRD OF ITS REVENUE (32.5 PERCENT) BY CONTRACTING TO PROVIDE SERVICES TO THE PUBLIC ON BEHALF OF GOVERNMENTS. OUR FOCUS PRIMARILY IS ON COLLABORATIVE PROBLEM-SOLVING WITH GOVERNMENTS TO REDUCE REDUNDANCIES, ENSURE REIMBURSEMENT OF NONPROFIT INDIRECT COSTS (PER THE OMB UNIFORM GUIDANCE), EDUCATE NONPROFITS AND GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS ON EFFECTIVE REFORMS AND PROMISING PRACTICES - ALL DESIGNED TO REDUCE COSTS FOR GOVERNMENTS AND NONPROFITS ALIKE, WHILE ENHANCING TRANSPARENCY AND IMPROVING PERFORMANCE FOR THE BENEFICIARIES OF SERVICES. 426706 289047 NETWORK SUPPORT - THE NATIONAL COUNCIL OF NONPROFITS IS A TRUSTED RESOURCE AND ADVOCATE FOR AMERICA'S CHARITABLE NONPROFITS. OUR MISSION IS TO ADVANCE THE VITAL ROLE, CAPACITY, AND VOICE OF CHARITABLE NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS. WE DO SO PRIMARILY THROUGH OUR NETWORK OF STATE ASSOCIATIONS OF NONPROFITS, THEIR MORE THAN 25,000 NONPROFIT MEMBERS, AND OUR OTHER MEMBERS, THAT TOGETHER CREATE THE NATION'S LARGEST NETWORK OF NONPROFITS. BY TRACKING TRENDS, SHARING KNOWLEDGE, AND SERVING AS A CENTRAL COORDINATOR AND MOBILIZER, WE BUILD CONNECTIONS, LEVERAGE CAPACITY, AND AMPLIFY VOICES TO ACHIEVE GREATER COLLECTIVE IMPACT IN LOCAL COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY.(CONTINUED ON SCHEDULE O)NETWORK SUPPORT - THE NATIONAL COUNCIL OF NONPROFITS IS A TRUSTED RESOURCE AND ADVOCATE FOR AMERICA'S CHARITABLE NONPROFITS. OUR MISSION IS TO ADVANCE THE VITAL ROLE, CAPACITY, AND VOICE OF CHARITABLE NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS. WE DO SO PRIMARILY THROUGH OUR NETWORKS, COMPOSED OF OUR MEMBER STATE ASSOCIATIONS OF NONPROFITS, THEIR MEMBERS, AND OUR OTHER MEMBERS, THAT TOGETHER CREATE THE LARGEST NETWORK OF NONPROFITS IN THE COUNTRY. NETWORK SUPPORT REFERS TO OUR ROLE COORDINATING MANY COMMON ACTIVITIES OF THE STATE ASSOCIATION NETWORK AS WELL AS IDENTIFYING EMERGING TRENDS, SHARING PROVEN PRACTICES, AND PROMOTING SOLUTIONS THAT BENEFIT ALL CHARITABLE NONPROFITS AND THE COMMUNITIES THEY SERVE. WE CONVENED OUR CORE NETWORK MORE THAN 25 TIMES THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, IN PERSON, AND VIA TELECONFERENCES/WEBINARS, TO GATHER AND CIRCULATE INFORMATION THAT INFORMS THE STATE ASSOCIATION NETWORK ABOUT PUBLIC POLICIES AND PROMISING PRACTICES FOR THEIR OWN CAPACITY BUILDING WORK IN THEIR STATES. IN 2016, OUR NETWORK INVESTED SIGNIFICANT ENERGY WORKING TO HELP THE NONPROFIT COMMUNITY BE IN A POSITION TO COMPLY WITH THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR'S OVERTIME FINAL RULE, RELEASED IN MAY AND TO BECOME EFFECTIVE IN DECEMBER (BUT ULTIMATELY BLOCKED BY A FEDERAL JUDGE SHORTLY BEFORE IT BECAME EFFECTIVE). AMONG OTHER ACTIVITIES, WE CONDUCTED A NATIONAL SURVEY TO LEARN WHAT THE EFFECT WOULD BE ON NONPROFITS WITH FIXED RATES IN CONTRACTS/GRANTS WITH FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS. USING THAT DATA, WE DEVELOPED SOLUTIONS AND LED EDUCATION EFFORTS TO MAKE THE CASE TO REOPEN OR RENEGOTIATE EXISTING AGREEMENTS SO NONPROFITS WERE COMPENSATED FOR THE MANDATED HIGHER OPERATING COSTS. WE ALSO PROVIDED AND COORDINATED TRAINING PROGRAMMING TO PROMOTE AND SUPPORT FULL COMPLIANCE WITH FEDERAL AND STATE WAGE AND HOUR LAWS. WE PROMOTE "BEST PRACTICES" BECAUSE WITHOUT PRUDENT AND ETHICAL OPERATIONS, NONPROFITS WON'T BE EITHER SUSTAINABLE OR CREDIBLE AND TRUSTED PARTNERS FOR INVESTMENTS BY GOVERNMENT, PHILANTHROPY, OR PRIVATE DONORS. WE ALSO PROMOTE FAIR AND EFFECTIVE STATE AND FEDERAL REGULATIONS, AND ENFORCEMENT OF THOSE REGULATIONS, TO ENSURE THAT NONPROFITS EARN AND CONTINUE TO DESERVE THE PUBLIC'S TRUST. 180204 14130 COMMUNICATIONS - ALL OF THE STRATEGIC INITIATIVES OF THE NATIONAL COUNCIL OF NONPROFITS STRIVE TO INCREASE THE PUBLIC'S UNDERSTANDING OF NONPROFITS. WE WORK 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.(CONTINUED ON SCHEDULE O)COMMUNICATIONS - THE NATIONAL COUNCIL OF NONPROFITS UTILIZES MULTIPLE COMMUNICATIONS VEHICLES TO SPREAD TRUSTED INFORMATION ABOUT NONPROFITS. FOR INSTANCE, THROUGH OUR WEBSITE THAT IS UPDATED DAILY, WE WELCOMED 1.3 MILLION UNIQUE VISITORS TO OUR WEBSITE IN 2016.THROUGH OUR BI-WEEKLY ENEWSLETTER "NONPROFIT ADVOCACY MATTERS, AND OUR MONTHLY CAPACITY BUILDING ENEWSLETTER "NONPROFIT KNOWLEDGE MATTERS," THE COUNCIL OF NONPROFITS KEEPS MORE THAN 24,000 NONPROFIT STAFF MEMBERS, BOARD MEMBERS, ATTORNEYS, CONSULTANTS, CPAS, ACADEMICS, JOURNALISTS, AND ELECTED AND APPOINTED GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS INFORMED ABOUT NONPROFIT ISSUES AND SOLUTIONS FROM ACROSS THE COUNTRY. THE 36 REGULAR EDITIONS OF THE TWO NEWSLETTERS, AND OCCASIONAL SPECIAL EDITIONS, HELP TO SPREAD INFORMATION, GATHER INFORMATION, PROVIDE SENSE-MAKING, AND OFFER PERSPECTIVE.NATIONAL COUNCIL OF NONPROFITS STAFF MEMBERS ALSO WROTE NUMEROUS ARTICLES, OP-EDS, AND OTHER PIECES THAT WERE PUBLISHED IN MAINSTREAM AND NONPROFIT PUBLICATIONS, AND RESPONDED TO FREQUENT REQUESTS FROM REPORTERS FOR INFORMATION AND QUOTES. ADDITIONALLY, COUNCIL OF NONPROFITS STAFF MEMBERS DELIVERED SPEECHES, PRESENTATIONS, AND WEBINARS ACROSS THE COUNTRY ON A WIDE VARIETY OF TOPICS FROM ADVOCACY AND PUBLIC POLICY TO ETHICS AND LEADERSHIP. 2130 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. 2130 1224945 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 10 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 11 11 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 CA MI NY X X CHARLES T DELANEY 2029620322 1001 G Street NW 700E WASHINGTON DC 20001 Renny Fagan Board Chair 3.00 X X 0 0 0 Donna Murray-Brown Board Vice Chair 3.00 X X 0 0 0 Anne Hindery Board Treasurer 3.00 X X 0 0 0 Doug Sauer Board Secretary 3.00 X X 0 0 0 Doug Bauer Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Henry Berman Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Trisha Lester Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Lisa T Maruyama Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Liz Moore Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Val Porter Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Marnie Taylor Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Kyle Caldwell Past Chair/Director Thru 7/2016 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Charles T Delaney President & CEO 40.00 X X 270456 0 25698 Jennifer Chandler Hauge Vice President 40.00 X 135986 0 20308 David L Thompson Vice President of Public Policy 40.00 X 152788 0 10899 Richard Cohen Director of Communications and Operations 40.00 X 101940 0 10521 661170 0 67426 4 0 1 0 0 318060 318060 Membership Dues 900099 243462 243462 Program/Service Fees 900099 149870 136165 13705 393332 13796 13796 MISCELLANEOUS INCOME 900099 30561 30561 30561 755749 379627 13705 44357 305265 250124 42570 12571 553182 453649 76842 22691 28039 22919 3949 1171 118138 95925 17154 5059 55910 45865 8162 1883 220 220 35091 27534 6945 612 24851 11882 12794 175 28629 22361 5118 1150 22278 20676 1230 372 201939 170184 23165 8590 20563 12857 4776 2930 56115 52217 3898 50592 19203 30426 963 4919 3848 877 194 books and Subscriptions 12491 11372 978 141 staff Development 5954 2789 3110 55 membership Dues 1540 1540 1525716 1224945 242214 58557 1069211 438423 265000 50000 12632 2200 22356 24382 433738 127225 357105 306513 502627 669842 54567 54567 2283498 1545927 115938 97248 23320 13900 423642 475966 562900 587114 X 780598 649575 940000 309238 1720598 958813 2283498 1545927 -769967 8182 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 1767935 523380 697201 1467146 318060 4773722 1767935 523380 697201 1467146 318060 4773722 3177845 1595877 27892 11670 15113 12786 13796 81257 3476 705 32963 348870 30561 416575 5271554 0.30270 0.40020 X Schedule A, Part II, Line 10, Explanation of Other Income: OTHER INCOME - 2012 Amount: $ 3,476. 2013 Amount: $ 705. 2014 Amount: $ 32,963. 2015 Amount: $ 348,870. 2016 Amount: $ 30,561.
