Legislation to renew and extend charitable giving incentives remains on the agenda for Congress before it adjourns for the year. Nonprofits across the country are stepping up their advocacy efforts to emphasize the importance of the giving incentives on the work that occurs in communities. "We cannot overstate the impact increases in voluntary giving would have on priorities such as education, conservation of open spaces and hunger relief, helping to create a sustainable future for all Oregonians," wrote four Oregon nonprofit leaders, including Jim White of the Nonprofit Association of Oregon, in an opinion article posted on Oregon Live.
