ACR Fly-In/Speak Out: Preserving the Charitable Giving
Date: Thursday, October 6, 2011 (with working dinner on Wednesday, October 5)

This week, the Administration proposed a new Jobs bill which is to be, in part, paid for with a substantial cut to the value of the charitable deduction. (The proposal is identical to the limitation called for in the President’s past budget proposals he sent to Congress). He has asked Congress to quickly pass his Jobs bill and has asked the “Super Committee” to consider his Jobs bill as part of their work. The next three months are critical if we are to provide a robust balance to the President’s call for cutting the charitable deduction.
In addition, we expect the Senate Finance Committee to hold a hearing on charitable giving incentives in mid-October. The lead-up to this hearing gives us an additional opportunity to provide these Senators with the real-world impact of cutting the charitable deduction, which we hope will inform the debate and discussion. It will also give us another opportunity to state our position – that proposals to cut the charitable deduction are exactly the opposite direction we should be going in. At the end of the day, cutting the charitable deduction is going to hurt those in need the most.
So that the Senate Finance Committee members, and others key Members of Congress, have the benefit of ACR’s resources and position on charitable giving incentives, ACR is hosting Fly-In/Speak Out to preserve charitable giving on Thursday, October 6th in Washington, DC (with a working dinner the evening before to prepare for the next day). Please join us.
