As part of the General Assembly's final version of state budget for FY2019-21 (H.B. 966), legislators have included earmarked special appropriations of more than $117 million to 207 nonprofits in key legislative districts. The Center has compiled a list of these earmarks.
The Center continues to advocate for state legislators to exempt nonprofits from collecting and remitting sales tax on admission fees to fundraising events.
On June 5, the Center met with staff for Senator Richard Burr (R-NC) and several other members of Congress from North Carolina and then submitted suggestions for four ways that Congress can provide tax assistance to help tax-exempt nonprofits more efficiently and effectively provide relief and recovery services after natural disasters.
The NC House of Representatives and NC Senate have each approved their versions of the state budget for FY2019-21. The Center has prepared a comparison chart highlighting key nonprofit provisions in the House and Senate versions of the budget and final legislative compromise budget released on June 25.
