      <Description>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 with 25,000-plus nonprofit members. 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.</Description>

        <Description>PUBLIC POLICY/ADVOCACY - The National Council of Nonprofits proactively helps charitable nonprofits to advance their missions by promoting their policy objectives and defending against attempts by state and local governments to take resources away from nonprofit missions in local communities. By rapidly facilitating the exchange of information among nonprofits across state lines and galvanizing broader coalitions, we helped nonprofits educate policymakers about how proposed legislation in numerous states would harm the work of nonprofits in the local communities they serve.

Due to its tax exempt status, the Organization is not subject to income taxes and did not have any unrelated business income during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011. Accordingly, no provision or benefit for income taxes has been recorded in the accompanying financial statements. The Organization is required to file and does file tax returns with the IRS and state agencies. For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Organization did not identify any uncertain tax positions that qualify for either recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. The Organization's Forms 990, Return of Organization Exempt from Income Tax, for the years ending 2009, 2010, and 2011 are subject to examination by the IRS, generally for three years after they were filed.</Explanation>

Through our bi-weekly enewsletter "Nonprofit Advocacy Matters" and our monthly capacity building enewsletter "Nonprofit Knowledge Matters," the National Council of Nonprofits keeps nonprofit professionals, board members, attorneys, consultants, CPAs, academics, journalists, and elected officials informed about nonprofit issues and solutions from across the country.

        <Explanation>The National Council of Nonprofits exercises the First Amendment and statutory rights enjoyed by all nonprofits to petition the government by engaging in a limited amount of direct and grassroots lobbying to promote legislation that supports the work of the nonprofit community and to 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.</Explanation>
