Fund Raisers Strongly Object to Deduction Limit, Poll Finds - Philanthropy.com: "The poll, conducted by the American Association of Fundraising Professionals, surveyed 813 fund raisers who responded to questions posted on the association’s Web site over a five-week period ending November 30.
They appear to side with other charity leaders who say that, particularly when the bad economy has caused donations to many nonprofit groups to decline sharply, reducing the charitable deduction would only further dampen giving, just when charities need it most.
But while the majority of fund raisers in the poll opposed the proposal, 14 percent said they agreed with the plan. Another 18 percent said they were undecided and needed more information."
