President & Ceo
As President & CEO of the National Council of Nonprofits, Tim led the nation’s largest network of charitable nonprofits, which champions, connects, and informs nonprofits to advance the public good. The National Council of Nonprofits is the only nationwide, sector-wide group that integrates policy analysis and advocacy both horizontally (legislative, executive, judicial) and vertically (local, state, federal) on issues of concern to all subsectors of the 501(c)(3) community, such as charitable giving, nonpartisanship, regulatory oversight, taxation, and more. It looks out for the shared interests of the entire charitable sector, especially small and midsized nonprofits (97 percent of nonprofits have budgets less than $5 million; 92 percent less than $1 million).Under Tim’s leadership, NCN's accomplishments included: • Drafting the legislative language making charitable nonprofits eligible for Paycheck Protection Plan (PPP) loans during COVID, enabling nonprofits to receive $50 billion in forgivable loans, which helped save about 6.2 million nonprofit jobs to keep services flowing to the public during COVID.• Defeating multiple attacks on the longstanding federal law that protects charitable, religious, and philanthropic organizations against efforts to politicize them.• Persuading the federal Office of Management and Budget to mandate that all levels of government using federal funds to hire nonprofits must reimburse nonprofits the indirect costs (“overhead”) they incurred performing services for governments.Tim previously served as, among other things, an adjunct faculty member teaching graduate courses on “Leadership and Ethics in the Nonprofit Sector,” author of a guidebook on nonprofit advocacy, chair of Valley Leadership, member of the Nonprofit VOTES Leadership Council, North America's representative on the international Affinity Group of National Associations, and a national Training Fellow for the Center for Lobbying in the Public Interest.
