Betty McCollum

Congresswoman Betty McCollum and Congressman Fred Upton have introduced the Nonprofit Sector Strength and Partnership Act of 2022, which aims to improve access to data about the nonprofit sector and leverage the mission of thousands of nonprofits to effectively work together.

Betty McCollum, a Democratic congresswoman from Minnesota, plans to introduce legislation on Wednesday to get the federal government to pay more attention to the economic impact of the nonprofit world.

The Nonprofit Sector and Community Solutions Act would create two new bodies to make recommendations about federal policy affecting charities and require federal agencies to step up their collection of data about such organizations.
