Generosity unites us! New data from Giving USA Foundation | The Giving Institute shows that 80% of Republicans and Democrats favor a universal charitable tax deduction. Congress is taking this up in 2025, thanks to a bill co-sponsored by Senators Lankford (R-OK) and Coons (D-DE). These findings show the need for immediate legislative action – not only for the benefit of American taxpayers, but also for the nonprofits who depend on their support! CEO Michael J. Tomlinson (“MT”) breaks down how this deduction could positively impact nonprofits.
