Impactful Policy Frameworks
Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) Regulations (Ongoing Discussion)
While not a finalized policy, there is ongoing legislative discussion and proposed regulations (e.g., Accelerating Charitable Efforts Act) around Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs) to mandate minimum annual payout requirements or time limits on how long funds can remain in DAFs.
If enacted, these regulations could lead to a significant increase in funds flowing out of DAFs, potentially increasing donations to organizations like PathLight International.
Charitable Contribution Deduction Limitations (Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 - Permanent Provisions)
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (TCJA) significantly increased the standard deduction, reducing the number of taxpayers who itemize and thus limiting the tax incentive for many individual donors to give to charity.
This policy continues to influence individual giving patterns, potentially making it harder for non-profits to attract donations from those who no longer benefit from the charitable deduction.
Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Enforcement Actions on Deceptive Charitable Solicitations (Ongoing)
The FTC consistently monitors and takes action against charitable organizations engaged in deceptive fundraising practices, ensuring transparency and honesty in solicitations.
This ongoing enforcement reinforces the need for transparent and honest communication, which benefits organizations like PathLight International that prioritize their '100% Promise' and ethical fundraising.
