The landscape has shifted for charitable giving. As individuals feel the effect of the Tax Cut and Jobs Act (TCJA) of 2017 on their personal tax situation, charities making requests for donations will need to respond in kind. Development departments are having to adjust their “ask” to meet the challenges brought on by the reduced tax incentive to make charitable gifts.

Congress took its first steps toward tax reform when both the House and the Senate released versions of their changes to the tax code. The House passed its version of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, while the Senate Finance Committee approved its version of a tax reform bill on November 16.
