...
In addition, the Massachusetts Nonprofit Network (MNN), the state’s nonprofit trade association, and the Providers’ Council, a statewide association of health and human service agencies, as of this morning have enlisted 226 Massachusetts nonprofits to petition elected officials to preserve the charitable giving incentive.
...
In a statement to its members, MNN said, “The charitable tax deduction is a critical tool for nonprofits across Massachusetts and the country that enables them to raise the funds needed to advance their missions. Unfortunately, federal officials are considering eliminating or reducing this important giving incentive as part of a package to reduce our nation's deficit.”]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.massnonprofitnet.org/mnn-news/massachusetts-nonprofits-lobby-to-retain-federal-tax-deduction/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>House OKs bill to let nonprofits opt into state retirement savings plan</title><link>http://www.massnonprofitnet.org/mnn-news/house-oks-bill-to-let-nonprofits-opt-into-state-retirement-savings-plan/</link> <comments>http://www.massnonprofitnet.org/mnn-news/house-oks-bill-to-let-nonprofits-opt-into-state-retirement-savings-plan/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Fri, 28 Oct 2011 19:27:34 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>alanglois</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[MNN News]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.massnonprofitnet.org/?p=3822</guid> <description><![CDATA[The House on Wednesday voted 143-7 to approve a bill allowing nonprofit entities, which represent about 14 percent of the state’s workforce, to access retirement savings plans managed by the state Treasury.

Grossman’s predecessor, Tim Cahill, pressed for a similar bill in 2009. At the time, Massachusetts Nonprofit Network officials said less than one in five non-profit employees had a retirement plan and the a lack of retirement and other benefits at non-profits hindered their ability to recruit top workers.]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.massnonprofitnet.org/mnn-news/house-oks-bill-to-let-nonprofits-opt-into-state-retirement-savings-plan/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Boston Mayor Suggests PILOT Credit to Spur Nonprofit Hiring</title><link>http://www.massnonprofitnet.org/mnn-news/boston-mayor-suggests-pilot-credit-to-spur-nonprofit-hiring/</link> <comments>http://www.massnonprofitnet.org/mnn-news/boston-mayor-suggests-pilot-credit-to-spur-nonprofit-hiring/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Mon, 12 Sep 2011 14:50:50 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>alanglois</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[MNN News]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.massnonprofitnet.org/?p=4020</guid> <description><![CDATA[Boston-based nonprofits, such as hospitals, universities, and other nonprofits, that hire jobless city residents would get a credit of up to $1,500 off the amount they are asked to pay to the city in lieu of property taxes under a plan proposed by Mayor Thomas M.
