  • Congressionally Chartered Nonprofit Organizations (“Title 36 Corporations”): What They Are and How Congress Treats Them
    Congressionally Chartered Nonprofit Organizations (“Title 36 Corporations”): What They Are and How Congress Treats Them (name redacted) Analyst in American National Government June 17, 2011 Congressional Research Service 7-.... www.crs.gov RL30340 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Congressionally Chartered Nonprofit Organizations (“Title 36 Corporations”) Summary The chartering by Congress of organizations with a patriotic, charitable, historical, or educational purpose is essentially a 20th century practice. There are currently some 92 nonprofit corporations listed in Title 36, Subtitle II, of the U.S. Code. These so-called “Title 36 corporations,” such as the Girl Scouts of America and the National Academy of Public Administration, are typically incorporated first under state law, then request that Congress grant them a congressional or federal charter. Chartered corporations listed in Title 36 are not agencies of the United States, and their charters only rarely assign the corporate bodies any governmental attributes. For instance, the corporation’s debt is not guaranteed, explicitly or implicitly, by the full faith and credit of the United States. The attraction of Title 36 status for national organizations is that it tends to provide an “official” imprimatur to their activities, and to that extent it may provide them prestige and indirect financial benefit. In recent years, some in Congress have expressed concern that the public may be misled by its chartering process into believing that somehow the U.S. government approves and supervises the corporations, when in fact this is not the case. As a consequence, the House Judiciary Committee’s subcommittee of jurisdiction instituted a moratorium on granting new charters in 1989.

In recent years, the District of Columbia has undergone significant changes. We have witnessed the emergence of new economic sectors, the growth of our population, the rise of incomes, and an increasingly flourishing real estate market. But many challenges remain—especially for the most marginalized members of our city—and much work still needs to be done. As an anchor institution in the District, and a Catholic and Jesuit university committed to justice, we have a responsibility to respond to these challenges— to educate students to be women and men for others and to create new knowledge to better understand our world and improve the human condition. At Georgetown University, we seek to engage in this work through mutually beneficial and sustainable partnerships designed to respond to the needs of our city.
