Senate-Passed Stimulus Bill Does Not Include Philanthropy Measures

Feb. 11, 2009, Washington, The Chronicle of Philanthropy — The economic-stimulus package passed by the Senate today does not include a number of measures that nonprofit and foundation leaders had proposed to help ease the impact of the recession on the philanthropic world.

As these provisions were also left out of the House bill, the chances that they will be included in the final stimulus package are slim.
