Legislation sponsored by Assembly Democrat Sgt. Robert Andrzejczak to allow New Jersey taxpayers to make donations to nonprofit veterans’ organizations via their gross income tax returns recently cleared its final legislative hurdle. The bill would establish the Fund for the Support of New Jersey Nonprofit Veterans Organizations, to which taxpayers may indicate they would like to donate on their tax returns. An annual grant program drawing from contributions to the fund would assist private nonprofit veterans’ organizations in providing programs and services for veterans. Many such organizations have experienced financial hardship due to the recent economic downturn.
