National Conference of State Societies

The National Conference of State Societies (NCSS) is a non-profit, voluntary organization serving as an umbrella for state and territorial societies in the National Capital Region. Although the request includes an EIN and a web reference that does not match NCSS, the information below is about the organization itself.

Overview

NCSS is recognized for its role in fostering cultural, social, and civic activities, particularly among expatriates from states and territories in the United States. It includes members such as students, military personnel, government workers, lobbyists, and members of Congress living in the National Capital Area.

History

The NCSS traces its roots back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries, with various incarnations such as the Central Association of the States and the Union of State Societies. It was formally charted by Congress on April 3, 1952, when President Harry Truman signed Public Law 82-293, granting it a congressional charter. The organization's charter was later codified in 36 U.S.C. §1505 as part of a broader legislative package.

Activities and Programs
  • Cherry Blossom Festival: NCSS is notably involved in the annual National Cherry Blossom Festival, participating since 1948. It sponsors the Cherry Blossom Princess program, where young women from each state and territory represent their regions in cultural and educational events.

  • Educational and Cultural Exchange Programs: These programs are designed to inspire leadership and cultural awareness among participants.

Status and Recognition

NCSS is classified as a civic league, operating under a 501(c)4 designation, making donations non-tax-deductible. Additionally, it has a 501(c)3 charitable foundation for tax-deductible contributions.

Membership and Representation

Historically, all 50 states and several U.S. territories have had active societies participating in NCSS. The organization is nonpartisan and includes collaborative efforts with various governmental and cultural entities.

Inclusion and Participation

NCSS events and programs often feature a diverse range of participants, including political leaders, who have been involved as officers in various state societies. This reflects the organization's commitment to fostering a community and cultural exchange among its members.
