Dear Chairman Baucus and Ranking Member Hatch:
In light of the committee’s “blank-slate” tax reform plan, we urge you to preserve the charitable tax deduction as it currently stands.
We are encouraged that many elected leaders recognize the value of the faith community and other charities, even as tough decisions must be made to address our nation’s fiscal challenges and reform our tax system. But, unlike some other nonprofits, our organizations and members rely heavily on private donations, and we have serious concerns that the charitable deduction continues to be threatened during this debate.
