Eliminate the new duplicate Department of State tax filing requirement for 501c3 nonprofits
Governor Hochul has not yet signed S4817A/A1141A, which would repeal the new double tax filing requirement for nonprofits to file their 990s with the Department of State (DOS) in addition to the Charities Bureau of the Attorney General’s Office. For many organizations, this filing will take place on November 15th. We need your support to urge Governor Hochul to sign the bill to prevent this new and costly administrative burden on the sector. |

Nonprofit Advocacy
New York State’s “lobbying threshold” is $5,000. This means if an organization spends $5,000 in a year doing legislative advocacy, they must register and report as a lobbyist. More space is needed for nonprofits to have a place at the table, by raising the lobbying threshold from $5,000 to $10,000. |

They are a liberal faith community based in Hastings on Hudson and would like to stay within that general area (Tarrytown to Yonkers, Central Ave, White Plains, etc.).
