The proposed changes, already being hotly debated in the philanthropic community, would, among other things, mandate operational changes for DAF sponsoring organizations and offer financial incentives (in the form of both excise taxes and tax relief) to motivate donors, sponsoring organizations, and private foundations to distribute funds to public charities at a rapid pace.
