Ralph G. Adamo, CEO of Integrity Wealth Management, Responds to Decline in Charitable Giving

"Someone had to do something to help charities. The last straw is the Administration's proposal to limit deductions for charitable giving to 28%," said Adamo. "We are finding that gifts to charity are ninth on the list of concerns individuals have when it comes to deciding on the future. Taxes--on both income and estate--legacies for heirs and worries about parent care all squeeze charity for attention. To respond to that reality, we're developing a systematic program aimed at enhancing planned opportunities that create a win for donors and a win for the charity," he said.
