This resolution recognizes the contributions of the nonprofit sector and calls for August 17, 2026, to be designated as "National Nonprofit Day." The resolution highlights that nonprofits are a major part of the American economy, with approximately 1.3 million organizations employing over 12 million people and accounting for 5.6 percent of U.S. gross domestic product. Most nonprofits are small, community-based organizations that provide essential services like food, shelter, education, and healthcare while supporting government programs and reducing taxpayer costs. The resolution does not authorize any funding or create new government programs; it simply expresses the House's recognition and support for honoring the nonprofit sector and its workers. This type of resolution is ceremonial in nature and serves to officially acknowledge the importance of nonprofits to American communities.
