As the Nevada Legislature began its 83rd session on February 3rd, Boys Town Nevada has begun its journey to gear up and advocate for our community and programs. Boys Town Nevada looks to include you on this journey, as we hope to keep you informed about how the upcoming legislative decisions could impact the nonprofit sector and together the communities we serve. Your support is crucial, and understanding potential funding changes can help us navigate the future effectively! Here is how this legislation session will impact Boys Town Nevada and other Non-profits across Nevada:
1. State Funding and Grants
The state government will be deciding on the budget for the next two years (2025-2027). This includes funding for various programs that many nonprofits rely on. Changes in state funding can directly affect our ability to provide essential services. Your continued support helps us bridge any gaps and maintain our programs.
2. Tax Incentives for Donations
Legislative changes to tax policies can influence charitable giving. If there are adjustments to tax deductions for donations, it could impact how much people are willing to give. We advocate for policies that encourage generosity and support the financial health of nonprofits. Your donations are vital, and we hope to see policies that make giving even more rewarding.
3. Regulatory Changes for Nonprofits
New laws and regulations can change how nonprofits operate. This session may introduce new reporting requirements or governance standards. Staying compliant with these changes ensures that we can continue to serve our community effectively. Your support helps us adapt and thrive under new regulations.
4. Advocacy and Community Impact
This legislative session is also a time for us to advocate for the causes we care about. By engaging with legislators and participating in public hearings, we can influence decisions that benefit our community. Your support amplifies our voice and helps us make a greater impact.
5. The Ripple Effect on Our Community
The decisions made in this session will have a significant impact on the people we serve. Whether it’s through increased funding for social services, better healthcare access, or improved educational opportunities, these changes will shape the future of our community. Your contributions are more important than ever in helping us respond to these changes.
Boys Town Nevada has been actively involved in previous legislative sessions, advocating for the needs of our community. We look forward to days like Nonprofit and Philanthropy Day, which highlight the importance and impact of nonprofits across Nevada. These sessions are a great time for Boys Town Nevada leadership, such as Executive Director John Etzell, to advocate for the needs of the community and the children and families we serve!
