Tax Bill Changes and their Effect on End-of-Year Giving with Bill Yaeger of The Citadel Foundation

There have been a lot of people in the media and non-profits who have been critical of the changes in the "Tax Cuts and Job Act of 2017."  The changes are now reality, and what our donors need to hear is a positive message.  Many, if not most, of our donors are not tax motivated, and therefore still are able to itemize.  So let’s take a look at these new cuts and laws and see how they may impact end of year giving.
