This resolution aims to formally acknowledge the profound contributions of the nonprofit sector and its dedicated employees throughout the United States. It emphasizes that over 1.3 million nonprofits feed, heal, shelter, educate, and inspire people, serving as crucial community touchstones. The resolution also highlights the sector's significant economic impact, noting it is the nation's third-largest employer, providing jobs for over 12 million people and contributing 5.6 percent to the overall U.S. gross domestic product. Furthermore, the resolution recognizes that 92 percent of these organizations are small and community-based, directly addressing local needs and acting as essential partners in government work. It asserts that Federal programs would operate less efficiently without nonprofit collaboration, requiring more taxpayer dollars. Therefore, the resolution expresses strong support for designating August 17, 2025 , as "National Nonprofit Day" to celebrate and honor the invaluable benefits nonprofits bring to communities nationwide.
