Talk about trickle-down economics. Providence Journal business columnist John Kostrzewa on Sunday argued that Rhode Island needs to give its wealthier citizens and corporate community tax breaks so that they’ll have more to give to the state’s nonprofits.
… [W]hile the number of nonprofits continues to grow in Rhode Island, the constraints are hampering their ability […]
Poor Michael Bloomberg.
With less than two years left in his final term and billions of dollars in his bank account, New York’s mayor would seem poised to execute “his oft-stated plan to pursue a full-time career in philanthropy,” as the New York Times put it Sunday. “… If he were to pour much of his […]
A recently posted fact sheet from the IRS outlines the “variety of tools at its disposal to make certain that tax-exempt organizations comply with federal law designed to ensure they are entitled to any tax exemption they may claim.” (Hat tip to the Nonprofit Law Prof Blog.)
Not everyone thinks that nonprofit journalism is such a […]
Hey, have you heard that the United States is in the midst of a presidential campaign? And you know what that means: In addition to epic pandering, lofty promises, and countless charges and countercharges, the airwaves are now filled to the rafters with commercials making all sorts of extraordinary claims. Sometimes they’re positive ads, with […]
The reason political candidates spend so much time pandering to senior citizens is very, very simple: They vote. Issues of interest to young people — access to college, for example — don’t get much time in stump speeches, in large part because it would be a waste of time for candidates to pitch ideas to […]

Debate all you want the merits of proposed legislation in California that “would require a private foundation with assets over 250,000,000 to collect specified ethnic and gender data pertaining to its governance and grantmaking,” but the end result would be more work for nonprofits, greater government intrusion into their operations, and no discernible increase in […]
Politicians, as I noted recently, will say nearly anything to secure your vote, so it’s best to take any and all public pronouncements as little more than campaign chatter. For a painful case in point, see today’s New York Times, where Sheryl Gay Stolberg wrote that President Bush’s 2002 State of the Union address offered […]
Yesterday wasn’t the best of days for Barack Obama. Not only did he fail to win the New Hampshire primary, but it was reported that Chicago’s Gene Siskel Film Center has spiked a screening of a documentary about the presidential candidate’s 2006 trip to Africa. The reason? The film center feared that showing the movie […]
