delawareonline ¦ The News Journal ¦ New government rules worry charities: "New government rules worry charities

The Rev. Thomas Laymon describes the funding base of the Sunday Breakfast Mission as churches, corporations and a little bit from Christian foundations.

'When the tsunami hit, there was a very definite drop in donations. We saw it, we felt it at the end of December. It was very evident,' said the mission's president and chief executive officer of last year. 'There was also an impact of the hurricanes, although we're not sure how significant it will be for us until after January.'

But most worrisome of late are new government rules on charitable giving. 'Government regulations can impact for the long run,' Laymon said."
