What questions should the presidential candidates be asked about philanthropy?

Phil Cubeta, a financial and charitable-giving adviser, offers some ideas on Gift Hub with some help from a reader, Charles Bernard Maclean.

Among the suggestions:

• “Who is your role model for good giving and why?”

• “America is the most giving country in world. What will you do to continue and expand that ethic?”

• “What’s your stance on encouraging volunteering and dollar donation by all Americans?”
