Wayne Winegarden – 50-State Charity Regulation Index

  Our podcast this week features PRI senior fellow in business and economics Wayne Winegarden.  Wayne discusses his study ranking the 50 states in terms of the regulatory burden imposed on charities by the state.  Nonprofits and charities make significant contributions to communities – from food pantries to homeless shelters, to churches and schools.  In some states, the regulatory cost of starting a charity or the reporting requirements and fees can be onerous.  Listen to the podcast to find out where your state stands.  Also, Wayne gives his thoughts on the state of the economy given the recent bank failures.
