The Senate Finance Committee is expected to hold another hearing on charities in early June. The hearing will focus on land donations, including the committee’s review of the operations of The Nature Conservancy and limitations on gifts of appreciated property. Also, early next week, the Panel on the Nonprofit Sector will release its Phase II Work Group recommendations for public comment. The Panel will consider the Work Group recommendations and public feedback when drafting its June 2005 report to the Senate Finance Committee.
