The Partnership Issues Statement on Proposed Reduction to Deduction

(3/27/09)

"The Partnership on Philanthropic Planning has issued a statement in response to President Obama's proposal to decrease the charitable deduction for families earning over $250,000. The Partnership believes that tax incentives for charitable giving send an essential message about the value our country places on voluntary giving and the important role of charities in meeting critical individual and community needs. The true beneficiaries of the charitable donation are not the generous Americans who make charitable gifts, but those in need who are served by the work of charitable organizations.
