Congressmen Schilling & Schock Rally Around Bill That Helps Charities and Small Businesses

Galesburg, Illinois – Thursday, January 26, 2012 – A day after having observed the 35th anniversary of the organization’s founding, NAEIR hosted a joint press conference held before an audience of the nonprofit group’s employees. Congressmen Aaron Schock [R-IL18] and Bobby Schilling [R-IL17] each made statements regarding the significance of H.R. 2592: the Charitable Contribution Parity & Enhancement Act.  The bill would extend a federal tax deduction to small businesses making inventory donations to nonprofits, schools and churches. 

As the bill’s sponsor, Congressman Schock stressed that the bill corrects a longstanding disparity between S Corporations and other small businesses that represent a significant majority of all companies and larger Regular C Corporations.  Currently the up to twice-cost tax benefit on inventory donations is available to C Corporations but not to smaller businesses.  H.R. 2592 would change that. Congressman Schilling, a co-sponsor, emphasized the nationwide impact that the bill would have and it’s bi-partisan support.  Congressman Danny Davis [D-IL7] is another co-sponsor of the bill.

Gary C. Smith, President & CEO of the organization, underscored the benefits that would be realized by both the small business community as well as charities across the U.S. He added that the impact of this legislation needs to be understood on the grassroots level; promoting greater collaboration between businesses and charities at the local level.

Mr. Smith and the Congressmen agree that the passage of H.R. 2592 would provide tax relief to hundreds of thousands of struggling small businesses. Equally substantial numbers of charities and those they serve numbering in the millions would benefit through previously unavailable access to a wide variety of free products. 

The Congressmen were in agreement that this legislation represents a two-pronged economic boost to the nation’s small businesses and millions of Americans nationwide, currently struggling under challenging economic times.

  2. Commercial Factoring is a process where a company buys the invoice and collect from another company at a discount. The company making the purchase is called a factor and usually has a ten percent discount, but all the terms of a factoring will vary on a case by case.If you are a business and would like to donate to NAEIR, or if you are a nonprofit school, or church and would like to learn more about the benefits of joining.
