The History Of National Nonprofit Day

This holiday was first created by Sherita J. Herring in 2017 to bring attention to all of the organizations putting in good work as a nonprofit. Why did she choose August 17th to celebrate this holiday? She chose this holiday because that’s when the Tariff Act of 1894 was signed into law.

Although this act is widely known for imposing the first federal income taxes on corporations, it also established the tax-exemption for nonprofit organizations. Over the past 126+ years, the tax exemption has remained in place for nonprofit organizations, although there have been a few changes over the years.
