BALTIMORE----This week, thousands of
fundraising professionals meeting in Baltimore at the annual
international conference of the Association of Fundraising
Professionals (AFP) learned that the Senate Finance Committee has
scheduled hearings on Tuesday, April 5 to discuss a variety of
proposed regulatory threatening the charitable sector.
Many charities--including America's great universities, park
systems, and museums--rely heavily on non-cash contributions, and
changes in the tax laws would vitally affect this lifeline. They will continue these efforts well
after the conference ends, to ensure that Congress is made fully aware
of these political threats to the legitimate charitable community will
not be tolerated."

However, AFP members maintain that the
inability of the IRS to address improper behavior by some donors
should not unfairly penalize legitimate charities and the communities
and populations they serve. Stronger IRS policing of donor valuations
would be a much less intrusive response to perceived valuation abuses
than the draconian measures being considered, which would destroy
valuable charitable giving incentives. The Communities of
Giving site features directories of charities, causes and events,
