ASAE is Asking: How Do Royalties Contribute to the Work of Your Association?

Please share your concerns by completing a simple form

Around the country, associations rely on royalties as passive income that's reinvested in their exempt mission. Any expansion of the UBIT statute could significantly impact any association's bottom line, directly affecting its ability to carry out its work.

The Ohio Society of Association Executives (OSAE) and the American Society of Association Executives (ASAE) are urging you to help us share with members of the Senate Finance Committee and their staff how exactly this change will impact organizations. 

We know that royalties are a significant source of non-dues revenue for associations that can be reinvested in education, skills training, standard-setting, research and other activities. We need to share this message with Congress. Your stories are critical so we can share the broad impact this change will have on our community. 

Please click here to fill out the form to share your story of how this change will impact your organization.

What programs, services, and offerings will you have to cut if the expansion of UBIT is successful? Please let us know by Friday, Nov. 24 so we can share these stories with members of the Senate Finance Committee and leadership. 

Thank you for your support. To read more about this issue, please visit the Power of A website here. If you have any questions, please contact the ASAE's public policy department at (202) 626-2788 or publicpolicy@asaecenter.org.
