What this bill does
H.Res. 1484 is a House resolution expressing support for designating August 17, 2026, as “National Nonprofit Day” and formally recognizing the nonprofit sector’s role in American life. The resolution does not create new law, funding, or regulations; it simply states the House’s recognition of nonprofits and their employees, citing figures such as the existence of roughly 1.3 million nonprofits nationwide, their status as the third-largest employer sector with more than 12 million workers, their contribution of about 5.6 percent of GDP, and the fact that most nonprofits are small, community-based organizations.
The resolution primarily affects how Congress publicly characterizes and honors the nonprofit sector rather than imposing obligations on any individual, business, or government agency. Nonprofit organizations and their employees are the subject of the recognition, but the resolution does not grant them new benefits, rights, or funding.
The bill was introduced on August 17, 2026, by Rep. Betty McCollum along with several cosponsors, and has been referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. As a simple resolution, it would need committee and floor consideration in the House; it does not go to the Senate or the President for signature, and passage would only express the House’s sentiment without carrying the force of law.
