A Money Grab For The Family?
The Hurricane Katrina disaster has dramatically affected not only those living along the Gulf Coast, but Americans all across the country.In an unprecedented move, Congress has recently made temporary tax law changes to encourage more charitable giving. The Katrina Emergency Tax Relief Act of 2005 (KETRA) includes a number of important provisions pertaining to charitable giving. Among these provisions are incentives for taxpayers who give gifts of cash between August 28 and December 31, 2005. It is important to note that KETRA is not designed to benefit only those charities specifically involved in hurricane relief efforts. Rather, one of the goals of KETRA was to ensure that charities in general don’t suffer from a downturn in giving as they did following the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
Focus on the Family is not a disaster relief organization and is no longer acting as a conduit for donations to the relief efforts. (Link)
