The Policy Blog: NYS “Johnson Amendment” Bill
By now, everyone in the philanthropic and charitable sector is familiar with the federal Johnson Amendment and its importance in maintaining nonpartisanship. While a longstanding piece of legislation since the 60’s, there are often efforts made to undermine its integrity. H.R. 949 or the “Free Speech Fairness Act”, for instance, seeks to allow tax-exempt organizations to make statements regarding political campaigns without losing their status. The President has even asserted that he “got rid” of the Johnson Amendment.

The Policy Blog: Charitable Giving Landscape
In 2017 (the most recent data collection by Giving USA), Americans contributed $410.02 billion to charity. These charitable dollars are vital to America’s charities, which continue to face tremendous demand for their services. Unfortunately, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) of 2017 has made it less beneficial for average Americans to donate to charities. Fewer Americans are making charitable donations. Indiana University’s Lilly Family School of Philanthropy has found that the percentage of Americans who give has fallen by 11 percent over the past 14 years – from 67 percent in 2002 to just 56 percent in 2014. The doubling of the standard deduction in the TCJA will likely accelerate this trend.
