As budget season in Washington, D.C. begins to heat up, a coalition of nonprofits has created a new website that advocates leaving the charitable deductions out of budget talks between the White House and lawmakers.
The new site, ProtectGiving.org, was created by the Charitable Giving Coalition, a group of 60 nonprofits — including the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP) and Independent Sector — dedicated to protecting the charitable deduction. The goal of the new site, according to Coalition, is to “provide user-friendly, accessible information about the vital role of charitable giving in America’s communities.”
