Charitable giving making a difference: "he local philanthropic scene is also doing well. Gloria Royal, the Kalamazoo Community Foundation's vice president for marketing communications, reported that 2006 gifts are at $11 million, a slight increase over the 2005 number. However, last year's contributions are still being counted, so the final figure is not known.
Royal said the foundation was especially pleased with 2006 congressional tax legislation that provided incentives for wealthy people to give to charity. Royal said that 12 people took advantage of the legislation and pledged a collective $24 million to the foundation."
