UBIT Coalition Sign-on Letter
Publication date:
03/2019
The 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act requires organizations to pay a 21 percent federal tax on the cost of employee transportation benefits, including transit and parking, and to calculate unrelated income streams in a way that increases tax burden. At the recommendation of Philanthropy Southwest’s engaged public policy committee, the Philanthropy Southwest Board of Directors recently voted to join associations from across the nation in signing a joint letter asking Congress to repeal the undue and burdensome UBIT on tax-exempt organizations.

2020 Census: Citizenship Question Resources for Foundations
Publication date:
06/2018
On March 29, 2018, the Census Bureau sent the planned 2020 census survey, which included a citizenship question, as requested by Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross. Many are concerned that the addition of this untested question will undermine efforts to achieve a fair and accurate census count in 2020, which helps grantmakers identify community needs and prioritize grantmaking. On June 8, the Commerce Department (which oversees the Census Bureau) invited the public to comment on the paperwork associated with the 2020 census. The public has 60 days – until August 7 – to submit comments. The notice and form to submit comments can be found here . For those interested, The Funders Census Initiative, under the leadership of the Bauman Foundation, is circulating a sign-on letter for foundations. To add your foundation's name to this letter, click here . Signatures will be collected until July 16.
