October 12, 2004
Gfn.com News
The Senate gave final approval on Monday to a $137 billion corporate tax bill, designed to give something to nearly everyone. The measure passed in a 69-to-17 vote, despite vociferous opposition from a handful of lawmakers who said too much of the 633-page bill gives enormous tax breaks to a variety of special interest groups.

This underlies the president's push for results-oriented funding for faith-based institutions � those that rely on spiritual healing as much as physical healing. Early in his term, Mr. Bush introduced the Charity Aid, Recovery and Empowerment (CARE) Act, which provides incentives to boost giving to faith-based charities. Though Mr. Kerry originally voted for the Act, he has remained silent since Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle began blocking a motion to send the bill to conference.

You don�t have to be Bill Gates to be a philanthropist in Montgomery County.
By Howard Denis (R-1)/County Council
October 7, 2004
As autumn arrives, many of us begin to consider our charitable giving plans for the year-end. I am always so impressed by the high degree of civic interest and participation among Montgomery County residents, and especially among my constituents in District 1.
Recently I learned of a Chevy Chase couple who are one of many county families to set up their own charitable giving fund at the Montgomery County Community Foundation. This couple, like many in my district, have a number of philanthropic interests, including their children�s school and their own alma mater, their faith community, their favorite charitable organizations in the county, and several other nonprofit organizations they support in the D.C. region and throughout the country.
To this couple, their new family fund feels like a private foundation, but without the costs or administrative hassles that come with a private foundation. And the minimum to set up a fund is only $10,000, which means you don�t have to be Bill Gates to"

Clergy Withhold Endorsements While Touting Free Speech From Pulpit
By Bill Broadway
Washington Post Staff Writer
Saturday, October 9, 2004; Page B09
This year's presidential campaign has proved to be one infused with religion, with President Bush's reelection bid buoyed by evangelical Protestants and Democratic challenger John F. Kerry under fire by some of his fellow Roman Catholics for his stance on abortion rights.
But the issue of religion and politics reaches beyond the candidates. Some forms of political involvement can endanger a church's tax-exempt status, and religious leaders report that they and their congregations increasingly are being scrutinized for any action that might violate that rule, including what is said in sermons.

In recent months, the Internal Revenue Service has publicly announced that it intends to audit as many as 2,000 nonprofit organizations. It has not divulged what percentage of those audits will involve colleges and universities, but I believe it is safe to conclude that they will not be excluded from this massive IRS effort. And one of the things the auditors will be looking at is presidential compensation.
I believe that the high levels of compensation paid to presidents of especially large universities can usually be justified by the magnitude of their responsibilities, the complexity of the job, and the specific challenges faced by those institutions.
The question is, Will the IRS agree? "

United Way of King County President and CEO Jon Fine: 'We're solving problems.'
(Pete Kuhns)
Ever since the economy nose-dived, nonprofits all over town have felt the sting of sharp reductions in philanthropy. Many have laid off staff, others have closed. There has been one great exception: United Way of King County. Aside from a dip in revenue a couple years back, the pet charity of the Gates family has kept its income relatively steady at the level it achieved at the height of the dot-com boom. And what a level that is. Preliminary numbers for the fund-raising campaign ending last June show an income of $92.4 million�a few million behind the previous year but still almost double that of seven years ago. According to the Puget Sound Business Journal, the United Way ranks sixth among all local nonprofits in terms of revenue, right behind Seattle University. Its income makes it the largest United Way in the country."

The Globe and Mail: "Philanthropic: As its name implies, this is the charitable notion of giving back by donating time or a share of wealth to altruistic ends.
Nobody handles all four dimensions perfectly and sometimes one element will lie dormant for periods, most notably when young people early in their careers may restrict their philanthropic impulses. But in the long run, he says, 'all four moral dimensions contribute to a full life in business, and a person fully armed has an enduring moral advantage.'"

Never underestimate the power of a bad spaghetti dinner.
About 25 years ago, Rose Schaffhausen got a letter from her sister, who was working at the U.S. Embassy in Mexico City and spending time at a rural orphanage run by an American Catholic priest. The letter said the kids needed, among other things, cooking oil to fry tortillas and beans. Schaffhausen yearned to know more and flew to Mexico to see for herself.
She came home inspired.
'She had a big spaghetti dinner and charged three couples $25 apiece for horrible spaghetti,' recalled Ann Arnold, 82, Schaffhausen's sister. 'She's terribly, terribly good at fundraising. She twists people around her little finger. I mean, she could go out at noon and have lunch with somebody, and she'll come back with $50,000 or $10,000.'
The small amount that Schaffhausen raised from that long-ago dinner launched Minnesota Friends of the Orphans, a Little Canada-based nonprofit that today generates about $1.5 million a year for disadvantaged children in Mexico, Honduras, Haiti, Nicaragua, Guatemala, the Dominican Republic and El Salvador. An orphanage also is planned for Peru.
All told, the nonprofit has raised about $20 million over the past 25 years."
