Diana Aviv, president and CEO of Independent Sector, explains why IS supports the Tax Relief Act of 2005.


Independent Sector supports a package of charitable giving incentives and reforms included in the Tax Relief Act of 2005. As modified by a managers’ amendment filed late last night, the bill reflects many of the recommendations made by the Panel on the Nonprofit Sector, which was convened by Independent Sector. These provisions would correct abuses by taxpayers who claim excessive tax deductions and by individuals who use charitable organizations for personal gain. It also includes several tax incentives for charitable giving that IS has long advocated. "
