Thanks for sharing that. Different causality than the tax law change. Very interesting.

Subject: Re: [FUNDSVCS] December giving
Here’s an article from the Chronicle of Philanthropy on December giving:
https://www.philanthropy.com/article/Big-Donors-Held-Back-on-Giving/245440
It requires a subscription. A few highlights:
Charities are still tallying their gifts from the frenzy of the holiday season. But the performance at year’s end of organizations that offer donor-advised funds provides a window into the mood of the most crucial class of supporters: affluent donors, whose giving makes up the bulk of most charities’ revenue.
Though many big fund providers are also still crunching their fundraising numbers, a spot check by the Chronicle indicates that many affluent donors, spooked by the worst December on Wall Street since the Great Depression, held back on gifts of appreciated stock at the end of 2018, a trend likely to continue while the markets remains volatile.
Like its peers, Schwab is still tallying gifts from December. But thus far, Laughton says, its looks as though both contributions to and grants made from Schwab’s funds have been up roughly 30 to 35 percent thus far in its 2019 fiscal year, which ends in June. But stock gifts were down, both in number and in value.

We are still working our way through committing all of our year-end gifts, but we did have an 11% spike up in online giving. At least some of that is due to our taking on another location in December, however.
best regards,

We experienced a drop, but I’m not ready to chalk it up to the new tax laws yet. I still want to see how much is just a lag in processing vs. other potential factors.

Has anyone experienced a drop in December gifts in relation to the new tax laws?
