Legislative Roundup
Thanks go to Joseph Lieberman (D-CT) and Rick Santorum (R-PA) for their work on the CARE Act which recently passed the Senate and is being discussed in the House. The act will help nonprofit organizations by giving incentives for making charitable contributions, including IRA Rollovers, Nonitemizer Deductions, and others.
Florida to Cut Arts Funding
By the time you read this, the state of Florida will have made significant cuts in its support of the arts. $28 million given to arts organizations in the past, including $500,000 for Arts in Education, has been reduced to less than $7 million, and arts trust funds have been eliminated. And Florida is not alone...many states are slashing if not eliminating arts funding. In a time when arts are helping to heal the nation, it is also becoming more difficult for those organizations to survive. Voice your support of the arts to your representatives! If you need to know how to contact them, please call us!
