ADVOCATE

Protect Charitable Giving!   

Congress is considering tax law changes that would reduce giving to charities.  

 

The proposals under consideration would limit the federal income tax deduction for charitable contributions.  If these changes go into effect, donations to charities will be reduced and charities will have to cut services to thousands of families and individuals who are in desperate need of help.  

   

Join United Way's efforts to ensure that Congress and the Administration recognize the importance that the charitable deduction plays in enabling charities to meet the demand for critical services in your community.  Take action now!
