The Association of Fundraising Professionals of Oregon and SW Washington and the Nonprofit Association of Oregon partnered to conduct a survey of executive directors and development officers at charitable nonprofits across Oregon. The survey, conducted February – March 2019, focused on individual charitable-giving efforts and results for 2018. As you may know, there were many assumptions made – positive and negative – around the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and the impacts it would have on charitable-giving for the nonprofit sector. The doubling of the standard deduction means many fewer taxpayers will itemize, possibly causing a downturn in charitable giving.
