Adam Schiff and California’s Nonprofits DESCRIPTION:Mitigating the Federal Threats to Nonprofits and Building Strength for the Future\n\n\n\nThe political landscape is shifting\, and California’s nonprofits are on the front lines. With growing uncertainty at the federal level\, nonprofits are more crucial than ever to keep our communities safe\, healthy\, and vibrant. Yet\, we face a perfect storm of rising costs\, federal threats\, increasing demands\, and shrinking funding streams. \n\n\n\nJoin us for a critical discussion on these challenges with California’s U.S. Senator Adam Schiff. As recent federal actions cast a pall of uncertainty over the nonprofit sector\, Senator Schiff will provide a review of key legislative and policy updates in conversation with CalNonprofits CEO Geoff Green and nonprofit leaders.

Changes to the federal tax code pose serious risks for tax-exempt organizations through new restrictions on charitable deductions\, a broadened executive compensation excise tax\, as well as new graduated excise taxes on foundations and university endowments. The bill will slash critical social safety net programs like Medicaid and SNAP\, and represents perhaps the greatest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich\, the young to the old\, and the future to the past. The Joint Committee on Taxation estimates an $81 billion reduction in nonprofit resources over the next decade. \n\n\n\nJoin us as we unpack the implications of the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” for nonprofit organizations and help nonprofit leaders understand how H.R. 1’s budget and tax changes intersect with mission-driven work\, nonprofit advocacy\, and public trust in this critical moment.We’ll explore:● Key provisions impacting nonprofits\, including changes to charitable tax rules\, endowment excise taxes\, and unpaid student loan forgiveness● Shifts in Medicaid\, SNAP\, and funding for safety-net services that may increase demand for nonprofit programs even as resources tighten● Why preserving the tax-exempt sector matters\, and how new financial measures could affect nonprofits’ fundraising capacity \n\n\n\nSpeakers:Geoff GreenCEO\, CalNonprofitsJanice RoccoChief of Staff\, California Medical Association \n\n\n\nStacia LevenfeldCEO\, California Association of Food Banks \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n Register Here URL:https://calnonprofits.org/event/the-big-ugly-bill-what-h-r-1-means-for-nonprofits-2/ CATEGORIES:Nonprofit Resilience Under Trump 2.0,Webinar ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://calnonprofits.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Oct.-21-Big-Ugly-Bill-updated-10.17-scaled.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20251016T110000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20251016T120000 DTSTAMP:20251009T160841Z CREATED:20251009T160839Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251009T160841Z UID:10000117-1760612400-1760616000@calnonprofits.org SUMMARY:Member Networking: Advocacy Organizations (Under $1M Budget) DESCRIPTION:Connect with fellow advocacy organizations (budgets under $1M) in this 60-minute session.
