With ideas floating around like reducing the deduction for lifetime charitable giving and perhaps death-time gifts as well, what is ahead is a brave new world. One main issue being debated is what effect such changes in the tax law relative to charitable giving will have upon charitable donors? We hear that people give without the deduction being a major consideration or at least one that will only marginally reduce their giving. With all due respect, that is simply not my experience. The following themes will be discussed at the November 16th teleconference at Jason’s Deli.

- Charities actively seek sensible modifications to proposed new rules.
- What are the multiple tax advantages of lifetime and transfer tax deductions
for charitable gifts? - What is ahead for private foundations?
