Yesterday,
Girl Scouts of the USA joined with more than 200 front-line nonprofit and
charitable sector leaders in Washington, D.C., to warn members of Congress of
the cascading consequences that could be set off by harmful limitations to the charitable
tax deduction. The Charitable Giving
Coalition – a group of more than 60 nonprofits, foundations and other
charitable organizations – represents a growing chorus of people from
throughout America delivering a clear message to lawmakers – “I am the
charitable deduction” – and sharing real-life examples about the impact of
charities and the ripple effects of the charitable sector at work in
communities every day.
To
that end, interested people are urged to sign this petition.
The Girl Scouts Advocacy Network provides a tool for you to become a voice for
girls and to make a difference in your community and across the nation.
Together, we can educate policymakers and community leaders on issues that
directly affect girls and the Girl Scouts. By being an advocate, you will have
an impact on girl policy issues moving through Congress and state legislatures.
