Freeing nonprofit employees from the crippling burden of student loan debt is essential to strengthening our nation’s third-largest workforce. Thanks to a variety of temporary changes to the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program, more than $11 billion in debt has been forgiven in the past two years. But time is running out to access this vital relief and the nonprofit workforce is lagging behind: only 37.7 percent of recent certification forms have come from nonprofit institutions. Time is of the essence, with these temporary provisions set to expire on October 31.
Join The #PSLFWorks Nonprofit Day of Action
We invite you to join Independent Sector, National Council of Nonprofits, and the Department of Education on Wednesday, September 14 for a PSLF Day of Action to help nonprofit stakeholders take advantage of this once-in-a-decade opportunity.
As part of this event, nonprofit stakeholders will engage in digital outreach to:
- Raise awareness of the temporary PSLF waiver that is set to expire on October 31
- Provide educational tools and resources to support nonprofit employers’ efforts disseminate guidance on the limited waiver application and certification requirements processes
To support this initiative, participants will be equipped with a Day of Action Toolkit that includes an email template, PSLF Resource Guide, marketing materials, and more. Please mark your calendars and sign up to receive the PSLF Day of Action Toolkit.
