What's Broken in the Foundation and Donor Landscape? Virtual Town Halls on Philanthropic Reform
Current tax rules enable wealthy donors to obtain generous tax deductions while warehousing most of their charitable funds for decades or more. As a result, more than $1 trillion dollars is not reaching front-line charities in desperate need right now. Join Inequality.org, NonprofitAF, and Community-Centric Fundraising as they co-host a two-part virtual Town Hall discussion on philanthropic reforms.
