While this has been a historically unproductive Congress with the fewest bills being signed into law in decades, there has been oversight activity and marker bills being introduced that could fundamentally impact the philanthropic and charitable sector if passed.

A key policy issue for the Forum is Donor-Advised Funds.

Forum Comment Letter to Treasury regarding proposed regulations impacting donor-advised funds.

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.
