Concerns About Federal Impact on Charity, Plus More: Thursday’s Roundup

- Howard Husock, vice president of policy research at the Manhattan Institute, writes on Townhall.com that “the stars are aligning for government to capture funds that would have otherwise gone to philanthropy and for government itself to pick charity winners and losers.” His concerns center on proposed changes to the amount Americans can deduct for their charitable gifts, the new White House Office of Social Innovation, and the Serve America Act.
- Allison Fine, a social-media expert, asks groups that recruit or use volunteers to work with the Entertainment Industry Foundation to develop a long-term strategy for promoting volunteerism following last week’s “iParticipate” TV campaign. Her post responds to Greg Baldwin, president of VolunteerMatch, who says the week of volunteer-themed programs and public-service announcements did not translate into many new volunteers.
