In appearing before the Standing Committee on Finance’s hearing for their study on Tax Incentives for Charitable Donations on October 3, Dr. Carmichael suggested that the Committee consider programs that would differentiate those incentives across charitable organizations in ways that take into account the purposes being pursued, activities performed and populations served so as to increase the social impact of the revenues foregone by the Federal Government in providing such tax incentives.
