Congress is targeting nonprofits – your voice matters

Right now, Congress is considering a tax bill that could significantly weaken the nonprofit sector—and impact the vital work of organizations like EngenderHealth.

If passed, the bill would:

• Give the Executive Branch new authority to revoke nonprofit status without due process
• Increase taxes on foundations and public charities, reducing resources available for programs
• Scale back charitable giving incentives, making it harder for communities to support causes they believe in
• Place a disproportionate burden on healthcare nonprofits, which make up a large share of the sector

These proposals could have long-term consequences for our ability to deliver care, advance rights, and partner with communities around the world.

At EngenderHealth, we remain committed to our mission to advance sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) and gender equality. We’re proud to work alongside partners, public health systems, and supporters like you to make that possible.

This moment is serious—but not without hope. Together, we can raise our voices to help shape what happens next.

Here’s how you can take action today:

• Learn more about what’s in the bill and what it means for nonprofits like EngenderHealth: Nonprofits Under Threat: What’s in the House Tax Bill and How You Can Help | National Council of Nonprofits
• Find your Member of Congress and their contact information: https://www.house.gov/representatives/find-your-representative

When you contact your Member of Congress, encourage them to:

• Protect due process and the rule of law by ensuring that nonprofits are not vulnerable to arbitrary revocation of tax-exempt status.
• Safeguard nonprofit missions by avoiding new or expanded taxes that would divert resources away from critical community services.
• Promote generosity and community investment by preserving and strengthening charitable giving incentives that support the work of nonprofits nationwide.

We’ve faced challenges before—and we know that collective action works. Thank you for standing with us, now and always.
