The newly released Giving USA 2023 report provides continued cause for concern about our nation’s ongoing decline in charitable giving from individuals and in the number of individual givers. These data lend more urgency for the need to pass the Charitable Act, which would incentivize millions more Americans to give and support their communities—not just the shrinking number of Americans who itemize their taxes.

Earlier this month, the Forum submitted a letter to the California General Assembly’s Judiciary Committee in opposition to Assembly Bill 1712. This bill would require the Attorney General to develop reporting regulations related to donor-advised funds (DAFs) at an account-by-account level, departing from the current practice, already in place. The fund-by-fund disclosure required by the bill would likely lead to the disclosure of donor identify and/or private donor information.
