FEDERAL NEWS: Senate Expected to Pass a Major Tax Package Directly Impacting Nonprofit Organizations

After months of debate and negotiations, the Senate is expected to vote today to approve the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” a major tax package that directly impacts the nonprofit sector and its ability to serve communities nationwide. For more details, see NCN’s full analysis of the bill and updated chart of tax provisions.

While the final bill includes both helpful and harmful provisions and is a marked improvement over earlier versions, it will ultimately reduce resources available to nonprofit organizations, negatively impacting their ability to provide essential services to their local communities. The bill creates a new universal charitable deduction that is estimated to generate approximately $74 billion over 10 years for nonprofit organizations. The bill also includes several provisions that disincentivize charitable giving by individuals and corporations, which are estimated to reduce resources for nonprofit organizations and their communities by at least $81 billion over 10 years. The bill also harms millions of people by taking away their access to healthcare and food assistance.

Because the Senate revised the bill, it will need to receive another vote in the House of Representatives before it can head to the President’s desk for his signature and enactment. The House is expected to vote on the bill before the July 4th holiday.

SCOTUS Limits Universal Injunctions

On the last day of its term, the U.S. Supreme Court issued an opinion limiting the ability of a single lower court judge to issue universal injunctions (sometimes referred to as “nationwide injunctions”).

The Court cited class action lawsuits as the better form of legal challenge for nationwide rulings, which can be more costly and time-consuming. “While disappointing and yet another obstacle to the ability of the American people to swiftly protect their Constitutional rights, the Court limited its decision and a number of pathways remain for individuals to obtain relief from the courts,” said Skye Perryman, President and CEO of Democracy Forward in a press statement.
