Opening panel to be moderated by Giving Review co-editor.
The Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center will host “Trust, Tax Policy, and the Future of the Nonprofit Sector,” at the Urban Institute in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday, September 22, from 9:30 a.m. until noon Eastern time. It will also be viewable live online.
The two-panel event will explore some of the many new major questions facing the sector about its role, responsibilities, and relationship to government, including in the context of tax policy.
The morning’s opening panel will feature Greg Berman, author of The Nonprofit Crisis: Leadership Through the Culture Wars and co-editor of Vital City; Scott Hodge of Arnold Ventures and The Exempt Class on Substack; Benjamin Soskis of the Urban Institute’s Center on Nonprofits and Philanthropy and co-editor of HistPhil; and Dean Zerbe, who served for many years as a top Senate Finance Committee staff member and one of the nation’s leading experts on law and regulation regarding tax-exemption.
The discussion will be moderated by Michael E. Hartmann, co-editor of The Giving Review.
The second panel will specifically consider potential changes to tax incentives for charitable giving, the tax treatment of nonprofit hospitals, and donations of appreciated assets from the wealthy.
The event is supported by Arnold Ventures.
