Dear Mr. President, Save the Charitable Deduction
The Charitable Deduction Coalition sends a letter to the White House
On Friday, February 5, 2011, the Charitable Deduction Coalition sent a letter to President Obama asking that the White House reconsider limiting the charitable deduction in the FY 2011 budget proposal.
“As we stated during the healthcare debate, this proposal would create a disincentive for taxpayers who give the most to charitable organizations to continue their generosity. Our nation cannot afford to discourage giving at a time when charitable organizations are facing enormous financial challenges stemming from the economic downturn.”
The entire letter is available below.
