Over 200 national charities are calling on Congress to provide $60 billion in support during the coronavirus pandemic.

Charities are on the front-line of the response to the coronavirus and its economic fallout.

Right now, Congress is preparing a trillion dollar economic relief package.  We are calling on Congress to include $60 billion to help charities keep their doors open and to continue to provide help in communities. Join us.

There will be a surge of need as hundreds of thousands of individuals lose work and can’t pay their bills.  At the same time, we expect significant drops in giving and program revenue.

American charities will play a crucial role in recovery from this crisis and we need Congress to support our efforts.
