Anticipated EOs Focused on Nonprofits’ Tax Exempt Status

Posted by PA Association of Nonprofit Organizations (PANO) on April 29, 2025

Through our national network, the Pennsylvania Association of Nonprofit Organizations (PANO) has learned that the Trump administration is expected to sign multiple Executive Orders targeting nonprofit organizations. These EOs may target climate and environmental groups only, and/or a broader set of nonprofit orgs, including those working on progressive issues, advocacy, and/or activism.

The Council on Foundations, Independent Sector, National Council of Nonprofits, and United Philanthropy Forum have issued a joint statement opposing this, warning that such actions undermine the independence of the charitable sector and civil society as a whole. The groups emphasize that the IRS must remain free from political influence and stress that targeting nonprofits for their ideas or beliefs is a serious threat to democracy.
