Unified Associates Provide Help…Create Hope

The Congressional “super committee” that is seeking ways to close the federal budget deficit is giving the nonprofit world a super headache.

Nonprofit advocates have waged a fierce lobbying campaign to convince the committee, which is supposed to make its recommendations next week, not to limit the value of the charitable deduction in its quest for more revenue. But despite their entreaties, they have not been able to get the 12 members of the secretive panel to spill the beans about what’s under consideration.

“They’re all saying, ‘We’re not making any comments,’ ” says David L. Thompson, vice president for public policy at the National Council of Nonprofits, which has mobilized an army of nonprofit activists across the country to contact super-committee members and other members of Congress.
