Roundtable Discussion
Each group will discuss three questions chosen from the following:
- What are you hearing from donors? Are you or your colleagues getting questions about the new law?
- How is your school, college, university preparing for year-end giving? Are you doing anything new?
- Given the politically polarized environment, how are you communicating with donors on all sides of the political spectrum? Have you done anything to change your approach?
- How, if at all, might you incorporate the strain put on institutions by the new tax changes and executive actions into your development strategy?
- Looking ahead to 2026, what strategies can you implement early to work with donors navigating new tax policies that impact their giving?
- How does your institution engage with donors with donor-advised funds?
- How can your institution take advantage of new charitable deduction for non-itemizers?
