Ask Congress to Protect Nonprofits in 2025 Tax Bill
The U.S. House of Representatives has begun work on a Budget Reconciliation bill, which aims to extend the 2017 tax cuts, improve border security, and increase military spending. The legislation, commonly known as the “Big Beautiful Bill” contains a provision that would severely harm ASHRAE by taxing royalties ASHRAE receives from the AHR Expo. Like many associations, ASHRAE depends on income from passive royalties to advance its tax-exempt purpose, and changes in this area would have broad and negative ramifications for ASHRAE and our members. 

In short, this change would damage the society’s continued work to be the foremost source of technical and educational information, and the primary provider of opportunity for professional growth, in the arts and sciences of heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration.

This legislation is currently being considered at the committee level in the House, which intends to approve the package by Memorial Day. It will then go to the U.S. Senate for consideration. 

We need your help to remove this damaging provision! 

You can send a pre-written email to your elected officials in the House and Senate, voicing your opposition to this provision by filling out your information and clicking on “Send Message.” Your email will complement the letter sent by President Dennis Knight to key legislators. 

Thank you for your engagement in defending ASHRAE!
