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.
