Ep. 12 Tax Reform, Taxmageddon, And The Nonprofit Sector: What’s at Stake with Sara Barba

As the expiring tax cuts of 2025 draw closer, the nonprofit sector faces growing uncertainty about what Congress may do next. In this episode of Money to Give, Rick Peck sits down with federal policy consultant and tax lobbyist Sara Barba to unpack why this coming round of tax reform could have major consequences for charities, foundations, and donors alike. With deficits and debt weighing heavily on lawmakers, Sara explains why Washington may be looking for new sources of revenue and why philanthropy could end up in the crosshairs.Rick and Sara explore how the political environment heading into 2025 differs from the pro-growth mindset that shaped the 2017 tax law, why many members of Congress still lack a strong understanding of what the charitable sector actually does, and how tax changes could affect incentives for giving. Sara also offers a practical look at what nonprofits, donors, and sector leaders can do now to educate lawmakers, build relationships, and advocate for policies that protect charitable giving. If you want a clearer picture of the risks and realities facing philanthropy in the next chapter of tax reform, this conversation is an important place to start.Contact Rick Peck:Website: https://www.thephilanthropyguy.comEmail: [email protected] A call: Rick Peck's CalendarSign Up For Charitable Giving Newsletter: Charitable Giving NewsletterLinkedIn: Richard PeckContact Sara Barba:Website: integerpolicy.com/philanthropy-policy/ Email: [email protected]
