Jewish philanthropic groups are antsy about the fall-out from the economic crisis.

The value of tax benefits for Charitable Contributions and organizations is estimated to be around $100 billion per year. About half of this cost arises from the deductions for Charitable Contributions, and about half from exemptions of earnings of non-profits. While revisions to the treatment of Charitable Contributions and tax-exempt organizations that receive Contributions have been made in the past few years, several issues may be considered in future legislation. Of most immediate concern are the provisions that, as a part of the "extenders," expired at the end of 2007 and may be considered for extension. Other issues that may arise reflect concerns about donoradvised funds and supporting organizations (now under study at the Treasury Department), nonprofit hospitals' provision of charity care, and educational institutions' use of growing endowments. While no current proposals are under consideration, Charitable contribution floors and extensions to non-itemizers were included in the President's Advisory Panels' tax proposals and in the Congressional Budget Office's budget options study. Most of the Charitable extenders were contained in legislation first introduced in 2001. Some provisions were enacted temporarily in 2005; further provisions and extensions occurred in 2006, in the Pension Protection Act (P.L. 109-280). These extenders include an individual retirement account (IRA) rollover, liberalized treatment of certain gifts ... Source: islam.about.com --- 23 days ago
Muslims generally strive to be generous and humble in their Charitable Contributions, but it is getting harder to do so in today's climate of suspicion and fear. Some Islamic charities have been shut down on allegations of re-routing funds to terrorist causes, causing Muslims to become wary of where their money is going. We have scaled down the list of the most reputable Islamic charities, helping the poor and needy throughout the world. ... Source: www.slate.com --- 6 days ago
On Oct. 3, the McCain campaign released federal tax returns filed jointly by Todd and Sarah Palin for 2006 and 2007. Although Gov. Palin's salary raised the couple's adjusted gross income last year to $166,000—a big jump from the $128,000 the two declared in the previous tax year—the Palins' Charitable Contributions dropped from $4880 to $3325. The 2007 return (excerpted below and on the following six pages) shows that $825, or nearly a quarter of the Alaskan first couple's largesse, consisted of second-hand items donated on New Years Eve to the Wasilla Salvation Army (Page 5). The family also declared $3,308 in income from the oil revenue-financed Alaska Permanent Fund (see below). For 2008, Gov. Palin has asked the legislature to increase this universal dividend, paid to all Alaska citizens, by $1200. [ more ... ] ... Source: latimesblogs.latimes.com --- 9 days ago
If you’ve read today’s front page story on the lavish retirement bash thrown by Robert Aguallo, a high-level bureaucrat at Los Angeles City Hall, you might get the impression that he was a wee bit informal in his text messages. In the weeks before Aguallo left his job running the city’s largest pension agency, he dropped a few e-mails soliciting private Contributions for his party/Charitable fundraiser to companies that had sought lucrative business with his agency. But equally unusual was the April 30 exchange between Aguallo and Joseph Haslip, the New York City assistant comptroller for pensions, about an coming conference in Chicago. The subject line: “Dude, Are U Doing Opal-Chicago?” Aguallo: “yes...this LA Pimp will be there..will brief you on my next adventure...” Haslip: “Dude the nyc pimp will be in the house. I hear the OC pimp is coming too.” No word in the e-mails on who "the OC pimp" is, or whether he knows that he (or she) has such a nickname. But as the rap trio Three 6 Mafia so memorably pointed out , it’s hard out here for a pimp. --David Zahniser ... Source: www.npr.org --- 8 days ago

Andrew Snyder submits: I do not know why I am surprised by this bailout-bill mess. After all, you do not make it to Capitol Hill by acting Charitable, selfless or even ethical. You make it to Washington through back-stabbing political moves, shady campaign Contributions, and a me-before-you attitude. The truth is blatantly obvious this week. After Monday’s political debacle permanently smeared this country’s history, our kind senators thought they would step in and look like the heroes we have been waiting for. In dominating fashion, they passed a revised version of the administration’s bailout bill. Complete Story » ... Source: www.smartmoney.com --- 10 days ago

In an effort to start making sense of what is an indisputably confusing situation, we asked some of the most thoughtful people we know the question: How will America change as a result of the economic downturn? Here are Robert Gordon and James Kvaal, senior fellows at the Center for American Progress Action Fund. Hard economic times usually hit not only our wallets, but also our spirits. Charitable giving goes down. And as Benjamin Friedman has explained , racial tension and nativist sentiment go up. Friedman noted one great exception in American history, though, and it's the Great Depression. In recent weeks, experts have talked about the New Deal for its Contributions to financial regulation, like the FDIC and the SEC. But at least as important to Americans 75 years ago were projects that engaged them more directly as citizens: the "boys" building schools and blazing trails, the blue eagles in shop windows, the murals. Unlike the War on Poverty three decades later, this was not an affluent society doing its duty. It was a broken society saving itself through work together. Roosevelt had said in his first inaugural, "These dark days will be worth all they cost us if they teach us that our true destiny is not to be ministered unto but to minister to ourselves and to our fellow men." So they did. Friedman speculates about a few reasons why the Depression, unlike other difficult times in our history, led to a rebirth of civic ... Source: rss.broadway.com --- 25 days ago

Spurred by an historic telethon Friday night, viewers stood up to cancer and pushed total donations for research to battle the disease past the $100 million mark. That dollar figure reflects Contributions from viewers of the telethon, "Stand Up to Cancer," as well as money raised since late May, when the Stand Up to Cancer initiative was launched, according to Lisa Paulsen, head of the Entertainment Industry Foundation, the Charitable organization behind Stand Up to Cancer. "One hundred percent of the more than $100 million raised will go directly to funding the research programs necessary to battle this insidious disease," said Paulsen in a statement Sunday that accompanied the announcement. ...

The Associated Press reported today that Sarah and Todd Palin have released their 2006 and 2007 tax returns. The release concluded: The McCain-Palin campaign had said the tax returns would be released Monday, but it suddenly put them out Friday afternoon — a time long used by government to reveal embarrassing news because few people watch TV or read newspapers Friday evening and Saturday. Interestingly, Joe and Jill Biden also released tax returns on a Friday. In their case it was September 12. The AP began its report: Democratic vice presidential nominee Joe Biden and his wife on Friday released a decade of their personal financial records, showing a veteran U.S. senator who earned less than many of his congressional colleagues. Oddly, no mention was made that Friday is "a time long used by government to reveal embarrassing news." Nor did the AP note in today's report that the more than $8,000 donated to charity by the Palins in the last two years more than doubles the Charitable Contributions of the Bidens for the past ten years. Perhaps there will be embarrassing information in the Palins' tax returns and that's why they were released on a Friday. But why didn't AP advise its readers of that possibility with the Bidens' returns less than a month ago? We all know the answer to that question. But it might be embarrassing for the AP to admit it. Maybe the news service should wait until a Friday to reveal the answer. ...
