  • What the New Tax Law Means for Philanthropy

    Donors at every level are looking for guidance on how to use their generosity most effectively—and we need to be ready to advise them accurately.

    The new tax law allows roughly 90% of taxpayers to deduct up to $2,000 for charitable donations. But what does that mean for donors who itemize? How should corporations be thinking about charitable strategies that maximize social impact while remaining tax-efficient? And most importantly, what should we be telling our donors right now?

    Join us for the Pittsburgh Planned Giving Council’s March luncheon as we explore these timely questions and their practical implications for the nonprofit sector. Our guest speaker, attorney Nicolas Sasso of Porter Wright Morris & Arthur, specializes in charitable giving and estate planning and will break down what the “One Big Beautiful Bill” means for you, your organization, and your donors.

    This engaging and informative program will also provide an opportunity to connect with colleagues, share ideas, and gain insights to strengthen your work with donors and clients.

    Bonus for Members: As a special benefit, PPGC members may bring one guest at no additional cost—just be sure to include your guest when you register.

    We hope to see you there!
