Key Points

This resolution officially recognizes the hard work of nonprofit organizations and the people who work for them. It highlights that there are over 1 million nonprofits in the country that help with food, housing, and education.
The proposal points out that nonprofits are the third largest employer in the United States. They provide jobs for more than 12 million people and make up over 5 percent of the total economy.
The main goal is to show support for naming August 17, 2026, as National Nonprofit Day. This would be a day to celebrate how these groups help local communities and make government programs run more smoothly.
