In February 2025, AASHE signed the Nonprofit Community Letter addressed to the 119th Congress, emphasizing the critical role of charitable organizations in society. This collective effort seeks to ensure that lawmakers recognize and support the contributions of nonprofits to communities nationwide.

The Nonprofit Community Letter, organized by the National Council of Nonprofits, calls on Congress to consider the profound impact of tax and spending policies on the ability of local organizations to improve lives and advance the public good. By signing this letter, AASHE aligns with numerous nonprofits advocating for thoughtful legislative decisions that bolster the sector’s capacity to serve effectively.
