Nonprofit Coalition Urgent Nonprofit Policy Priorities in Reforms to CARES Act July 13, 2020 The Honorable Nancy Pelosi The Honorable Mitch McConnell Speaker Majority Leader U.S. House of Representatives U.S. Senate Washington, DC 20515 Washington, DC 20510 The Honorable Kevin McCarthy The Honorable Chuck Schumer Minority Leader Minority Leader U.S. House of Representatives U.S. Senate Washington, DC 20515 Washington, DC 20510 Dear Speaker Pelosi, Leader McConnell, Leader McCarthy, and Leader Schumer: The charitable nonprofit community appreciates that several key relief programs in the various COVID-19 relief laws enacted by Congress extend eligibility to some nonprofit organizations. These bipartisan efforts recognize both that the American people rely extensively on charitable nonprofits for important services and supports and that charitable nonprofits play a significant role in our nation’s economy as the third largest employer. These programs have been a lifeline for many nonprofits during this difficult time and it is clear that every dollar granted, donated, or earned has been leveraged immediately to address clear and present challenges. However, nonprofits – like the people we serve throughout the country – still face significant challenges. As we continue to provide relief and begin the process of reopening, these challenges will only grow. As you work on the next COVID-19 relief package this month, the charitable nonprofit sector urges you to address four specific issues to ensure we can continue to provide frontline services to those in need, and are able to help our communities recover. The following key areas have garnered widespread bipartisan support in both the House and Senate and will be covered in depth at virtual briefings during the #Relief4Charities “week of action” beginning July 13: 1. Continue Emergency Funding Programs that provide nonprofits with financial support enabling them to continue and expand services protecting vulnerable families and frontline responders. Charitable organizations must have additional resources to provide vital services essential to individual and community wellbeing, both during the pandemic and to support recovery and rebuilding efforts. Our requests: (1) Extend and expand the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) by enabling a second round of funding for all nonprofits and modifying the eligibility criteria pertaining to 500 employees; (2) Enact and expand grant and funding programs, such as the proposed WORK NOW Act or the Employee Retention Tax Credit, to help nonprofits retain employees, scale service delivery, and create new jobs; and (3) Appropriate funds for federal grant programs that enable nonprofits to advance their missions of serving communities. 2. Provide Low-Cost Loans to Mid-Size and Larger Nonprofits which have not been able to access government funding. Nonprofits with 500 or more employees are currently completely shut out of the two most important sources of COVID-19 financial support: the PPP and the Federal Reserve Main Street Lending Program (“MSLP”). The recently proposed “nonprofit” MSLP contains numerous financial restrictions and lacks the forgivable feature of PPP that make it unattractive to most organizations that are targeted for the support. Our requests: (1) Authorize and require the Federal Reserve to quickly finalize a nonprofit lending facility under MSLP that is tailored to accommodate mid-size nonprofits including language similar to H.R. 6800 Updated July 20, 2020 Nonprofit Community Letter Page 2 of 37 that offers a loan forgiveness option; and (2) Extend eligibility of PPP to all nonprofits of all sizes similar to H.R. 6800 and lift the loan cap to appropriately reflect the operational needs of these nonprofits. 3. Strengthen Charitable Giving Incentives to encourage all Americans to help their communities during these challenging times through charitable donations. Donations are especially needed today as nonprofits respond to the current health and economic crisis and will be critical in the future as nonprofits play an essential role in recovery efforts when the pandemic ends. Our requests: (1) Expand the above-the-line or universal charitable deduction in the CARES Act by enacting the provisions in S. 4032/H.R. 7324 increasing the amount to one-third of the standard deduction; and (2) Extend this and the giving incentives enacted in the CARES Act through 2021. 4. Provide Full Unemployment Benefit Reimbursement to nonprofits that self-insure these benefits. Federal and state laws give nonprofits the option of operating as self-insured (“reimbursing”) employers that make payments to their state unemployment insurance systems for benefits attributable to them in lieu of advance contributions. Shut-down orders by government officials and program cancellations have forced nonprofits to furlough or layoff staff, triggering immediate, catastrophic unemployment payment bills that are due this month in most states. Compounding the problem has been a Labor Department ruling that requires nonprofits to pay 100% of unemployment costs upfront. These challenges are exacerbating cash flow difficulties at a time when other employers will likely experience little or no additional costs resulting from COVID-19-related layoffs and are diverting valuable funds from mission services. Our request: Increase the federal unemployment insurance reimbursement for self-insured (reimbursing) nonprofits to 100% of costs. We thank you, once again, for your leadership in crafting and passing COVID-19 related relief legislation. We hope that nonprofits can count on your continued leadership, and your insistence that the needs of nonprofits, and the indispensable role they play, are at the center of upcoming relief legislation. And we count on your active engagement with the President to make sure that charitable nonprofits can continue to fulfill their missions, especially in times such as this of unique challenge to our nation.

  • The Evolution of Ywca's Work and Our Mission
    THE EVOLUTION OF YWCA’S WORK AND OUR MISSION Our Founding: It was 1855, in England, where two women’s groups came together, a prayer group and a social activist group, to seek housing for nurses returning from the Crimean War, and, to improve the lives of women caught up in the Industrial Revolution. Here YWCA was born. Soon, across the Atlantic, many of America’s young women were moving into our growing cities, their sights set on becoming self sufficient and on more fulfilling futures. As was the experience in England, what they found among the mills, bakeries and laundries providing jobs to young women were long working hours, poor and unsafe conditions, and few opportunities for healthy activity. Concurrently at this time in the U.S., a religious revival was being experienced. As the plight of the new corps of working women became apparent, and as happened in England, women serving the Lord saw a worthy application for their spirit and energies. It was in this climate that the Prayer Union Circle and Ladies’ Christian Association were formed in New York City in 1858, which evolved into YWCA of the City of New York, and that a group of “benevolent ladies” gathered in 1859 to form the YWCA of Boston, the first to use the name “Young Women’s Christian Association.” News of great opportunity traveled fast, and by 1890 there were 106 like-minded organizations in the United States that evolved into YWCAs.

  • A HISTORY of the YWCA MISSION This YWCA Organizational and Mission History Courtesy of Ruth Irving-Carroll
    A HISTORY OF THE YWCA MISSION This YWCA Organizational and Mission History courtesy of Ruth Irving-Carroll History of the YWCA Mission and Membership: The mission statement describes the overall purpose of the organization: what we do, who we do it for, and how and why we do it. The mission of the YWCA has changed as times have changed. At a Mission Committee meeting in the rnid-1960s, one member stated that “the mission is not written in stone.” However, one phrase has remained in the YWCA mission throughout the years: “peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all people.” Initially, the YWCA’s mission reflected an emphasis on “Mind, Spirit and Body” and its members were Protestant women. However, during the first half of the twentieth century, the mission statement was changed. In the mid-1960s, the YWCA became “Christian but open.” As a result, women who were not Christian were welcomed as members and in all leadership positions. The YWCA of the USA and the YWCA Canada are unique in the World YWCA in this respect. In 1970, the following statement was adopted: The Association will thrust its collective power toward the elimination of racism wherever it exists and by any means necessary. Commonly abbreviated to the name One Imperative, that statement has been reaffirmed at many conventions. At times, the mission has been divided into Purpose and One Imperative, and at other times, it has been included as one mission. In either case, it is an essential part of who the YWCA is and what the YWCA and all its components do.

  • Interpretation of the Seattle Uplift, Washington, As a Passive-Roof Duplex by Thomas M
    Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, Vol. 94, No. 4, pp. 1379–1401, August 2004 Interpretation of the Seattle Uplift, Washington, as a Passive-Roof Duplex by Thomas M. Brocher, Richard J. Blakely, and Ray E. Wells Abstract We interpret seismic lines and a wide variety of other geological and geophysical data to suggest that the Seattle uplift is a passive-roof duplex. A passive- roof duplex is bounded top and bottom by thrust faults with opposite senses of vergence that form a triangle zone at the leading edge of the advancing thrust sheet. In passive-roof duplexes the roof thrust slips only when the floor thrust ruptures. The Seattle fault is a south-dipping reverse fault forming the leading edge of the Seattle uplift, a 40-km-wide fold-and-thrust belt. The recently discovered, north-dipping Tacoma reverse fault is interpreted as a back thrust on the trailing edge of the belt, making the belt doubly vergent. Floor thrusts in the Seattle and Tacoma fault zones, imaged as discontinuous reflections, are interpreted as blind faults that flatten updip into bedding plane thrusts. Shallow monoclines in both the Seattle and Tacoma basins are interpreted to overlie the leading edges of thrust-bounded wedge tips advancing into the basins. Across the Seattle uplift, seismic lines image several shallow, short- wavelength folds exhibiting Quaternary or late Quaternary growth. From reflector truncation, several north-dipping thrust faults (splay thrusts) are inferred to core these shallow folds and to splay upward from a shallow roof thrust. Some of these shallow splay thrusts ruptured to the surface in the late Holocene.
