The estate tax will undoubtedly be a consideration for many donors. The extent of this consideration is questionable. It is currently very easy for families to be impacted by the estate tax.
Incomes are high and investments have performed well.
This has an immediate effect on wealth accumulation. Further, I think that the opposition of NFP's to changes in the estate tax will be counterproductive. It will convey to donors and potential donors that the NFP's are actually self-serving, greedy enterprises that have no concern for the donor's financial situation.
