Advocacy Alert: The House Passes HEROES Act - Analysis and Action for Nonprofits; PPP Forgiveness, Upcoming Events

HEROES ACT 

Nonprofit Westchester is pleased the House of Representatives passed the Health and Economic Recovery Omnibus Emergency Solutions Act (HEROES Act) Friday night. Along with Nonprofit New York, we thank the New York Delegation for advocating for reforms to support all nonprofits. However we must caution that this bill faces significant challenges from the Senate and the provisions in the HEROES Act are not law.

In early April, NPW joined with hundreds of organizations and signed on to Nonprofit New York's letter to the New York Congressional Delegation which sent recommendations for the next phase of federal COVID-19 legislation, post CARES Act. Nonprofit New York's Statement and Analysis looks at how the Congressional recommendations fared in the HEROES Act.

Action items

1. Read the document below - Nonprofit New York's Analysis is well-worth taking the time to read, and NPW is so grateful to them for all of their policy work. Document includes information on:

  • Funding for New York's Budget Deficit

2. Call Senator Schumer and Senator Gillibrand to thank them for all of their hard work in advocating for New York and Westchester's nonprofit organizations and let them know you are behind them in their efforts to keep the provisions for nonprofits in the HEROES Act.

  • Senator Schumer's office: (202) 224-6542 or (212) 486-4430 
  • Senator Gillibrand's office: (202) 224-4451 or (212)-688-6262

We join Nonprofit New York in thanking the National Council of Nonprofits, for their robust analysis of the HEROES Act and provisions impacting nonprofits that helped support this analysis.



PPP LOAN FORGIVENESS

SBA released the application and instructions for PPP loan forgiveness, which I know a lot of nonprofits have been looking out for. However this is not the guidance many have been seeking. SBA notes they will issue guidance and further assistance soon.
