"It's not clear what the impact of the new rules is going to be,' said Walter Sczudlo, executive vice president of the Association of Fundraising Professionals in Alexandria.
While the changes shouldn't faze people who donate by check or credit card, they could make things harder for anyone used to giving with cash.
'Those individuals are either going to have to ask for a receipt, which is a cumbersome process when you pass a plate, or forgo the deductibility of their contribution,' Sczudlo said."

The Panel on the Nonprofit Sector invites the nonprofit community to comment on draft principles on self-regulation through a public comment period.

The Advisory Committee examined the standards and principles established by over 50 self-regulation and accreditation systems that monitor different types of charitable organizations to develop a set of 29 principles of effective practice for charitable organizations. The Committee recommends that all charitable organizations aspire to follow these principles and that all major organizations (public charities with at least $1 million in annual revenues and private foundations with at least $25 million in assets) should implement these practices.
