Jim Bell, CFP®, President and Founder of Bell Investment Advisors, has been invited to speak to members of the Oakland Chamber of Commerce by its Community Impact Committee on the topic, Consequences of the New Tax Law on Charities and Estates: What Nonprofits and Their Supporters Need to Know. The Chamber has graciously agreed to open the talk to anyone who is interested in learning how the new Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) will affect philanthropy.
While the new law impacts individuals and the economy in a multitude of ways, in his talk, Mr. Bell will hone in on the law’s effects on charities and estates. Some of the questions he will address are:
- What effect will the new standard deduction have on charitable giving?
- How do qualified charitable distributions become even more important?
- How might estate tax changes influence charitable giving?
The talk should be of particular interest to all nonprofit professionals seeking to learn more about how the new tax law will impact individual donors, their supporters, and nonprofits in general. Development professionals, executive directors, and board members are also encouraged to attend.
