Boosting the Economy Through Charitable Tax Deduction Innovation | Tactical Philanthropy

Boosting the Economy Through Charitable Tax Deduction Innovation | Tactical Philanthropy: For other members of our team, being able to speak to the First Lady about our school food program, which provides locally sourced, cook from scratch meals for students at DC public schools was an unbelievable opportunity to offer practical, ground-level advice about turning school cafeterias into learning labs for math, science and nutrition.

But for me, it was a bittersweet visit. Why? Because it took place just two days after the President spoke to Congress and the country about the national imperative to create jobs, and in the last 5 months, the Kitchen’s social enterprise businesses have created 50 new jobs, with great starting pay and full benefits.
