NBCA joins the Help America Give Campaign

Help America Give is a coalition of America's charities and religious congregations working for the establishment of a charitable contributions deduction for all taxpayers Help America Give is a coalition of several of America's leading charities, religious organizations of all faiths, and community-based organizations. These collectively represent millions of donors, volunteers, and communities served in every state across the nation. We have joined forces to urge Congress to allow all Americans to deduct their charitable deductions at tax time.

Join National Black College Alliance members as we explore this with other non-profit organizations.
