Lauren, what is so significant about the 2025 H.R.1 tax reform?
3:43
Yeah, it's really fascinating.
3:44
You know, tax policy shapes the how and the when of giving in the philanthropic landscape, um, even if it doesn't necessarily shape the why.
3:54
And like you said, Immaculate, we see big overhauls just about every decade, and each time we see the sector recalibrate, and we're o- in one of those moments, um, when H.R.1 was signed into law in July 2025.
4:09
Some of these provisions will actually expand what we see in participation in giving, um, while others will most likely compress the incentive at the top.
4:19
And we at CCS, um, are seeing this tension play out in real time.
4:24
It's one that's really interesting to navigate.
