Simple ResolutionWhat this resolution actually does

This resolution is a non-binding statement passed by the House of Representatives expressing support for designating August 17, 2026, as National Nonprofit Day and recognizing the contributions of nonprofits and their workers. It does not create law, change federal programs, or require action by the Senate or the President. It simply records the House's opinion and calls attention to the nonprofit sector.

Simple House resolution recognizing the U.S. nonprofit sector and nonprofit employees, and expressing support for designating August 17, 2026, as “National Nonprofit Day.” The resolution states facts about nonprofit scale and roles and contains no funding or regulatory mandates.

Passage5/100
