The Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce and the Capital Region (NY) Chamber of Commerce partnered to lead a coalition to support cultural institutions during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. This coalition of over 140 chambers of commerce from almost 40 states is urging congressional leaders to expand funding and enact relief provisions for the cultural and performing arts sectors, including aquariums, zoos, performance centers, and museums.
The full text of the letter is below, and available here.
Dear Speaker Pelosi and Leaders McConnell, McCarthy and Schumer:
Thank you for your leadership and continued work to protect Americans, stabilize the economy, and ensure the survival of key institutions and sectors during this challenging time. We represent a group of chambers of commerce from 39 states working with employers and businesses of all sizes and industries to respond to our national public health crisis.
The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act provided much-needed relief to many of our members, however, in practice, there are critical gaps in the CARES Act that fail to meet the needs of important organizations in our communities. If cultural institutions like aquariums, zoos, performing arts centers, and museums are to survive this crisis, we request that the U.S. Congress work swiftly to enact the following provisions:
● Increase the allocation to at least $6 billion for the Institute of Museums and Library Services toprovide direct economic relief for non-profit museums, aquariums, zoos, and performing artscenters. This funding should be used to provide grants for operational support, distance learning, andpandemic recovery planning and implementation.
● Increase and extend the Paycheck Protection Program and loan forgiveness provisions in the CARESAct through December 2020 and make non-profits – including zoos, aquariums, performing artscenters, and museums, with greater than 500 employees – eligible for loan forgiveness.
● Expand the universal charitable deduction provision by removing the $300 cap and by eliminating the60% limit on Adjusted Gross Income that may be deducted through charitable gifts of cash.
● Support the proposals of the Americans for the Arts that will stabilize both the assets of culturalorganizations while they wait to reopen and help them when restarting is possible.
Collectively, the nation’s performing arts centers, museums, zoos, and aquariums are losing millions of dollars a day due to closures and are in desperate need of significant federal support to continue to employ many thousands of people, rebuild our nation’s tourism industry, and simply survive the months to come. As cash-based businesses, our economic stability depends on revenue generated from our visitors. Initial furloughs and layoffs of personnel began in many institutions and will escalate as closures extend and event cancellations continue. Over and above losses in earned revenue and unremitted expenses, these organizations are projecting a decline in charitable contributions as donors reassess their capacity to give.
The pandemic will have a devastating impact on performing arts centers, museums, aquariums, and zoos, which operate on thin margins of financial sustainability and without large designated operational reserve funds or access to tax-relief benefits. These institutions are important to every community, exposing residents to creativity and education and enhancing their quality of life. Combined, the items listed above represent the minimum required support mechanisms to ensure that Americans still have these venerable and treasured places of learning, inspiration, and connection in our communities when better days return, and we are all able to leave our homes, travel to favorite destinations, and spend time with our family and friends.
