That's unfortunate. And many of the foundations that leverage their tax burden through giving programs will be less active for groups like this to take advantage of next year.
With the reduction in the charitable deduction for 2010, many private and public organizations will be in big trouble. The deduction is scheduled to drop to 28% from 35%, or $3.87 billion dollars. We shouldn't see a change in middle class or lower class giving, but they only make up for a tiny percentage of charitable contributions. The upper income households are expected to reduce giving by 4.8% according to Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University.
Goodwill, Tulsa Opera, The Ballet, all of our local passions that rely on monetary gifts, from supportive wealthy benefactors will get hit hard. Nationally we may see the death or dilution of many of our favorite causes. It's really a shame, because $100,000 given to a charity by a wealthy benefactor never touches the hands of government so only a small portion of that money goes to administrative expenses, but the same $100,000 passing through government to an organization can lose up to 90% of it's value.
It's rather backwards to discourage charitable giving in tough economic times.
I wonder who will survive?
