AHP through the efforts of the Charitable Giving Coalition (CGC) issued the following statement regarding President Obama's fiscal year (FY) 2015 budget proposal: If the 28 percent cap included in the Administration's FY 2015 Budget were enacted, donations to the nonprofit sector could decline by more than $9.4 billion per year. That is more than the annual operating budgets of the American Red Cross, Goodwill Industries International, the YMCA of the USA, Habitat for Humanity, the Boys & Girls Clubs of America, Catholic Charities USA, and the American Cancer Society combined. This figure represents billions of dollars that would prevent America's charities from fulfilling their missions and serving our communities and those in need.
