New Book
DONOR-ADVISED FUNDS: LAW AND POLICY
In his newest book, Hopkins summarizes the extensive body of law and explores the many policy issues surrounding the nation’s hottest charitable giving vehicle and strategy: the donor-advised fund. The book provides a detailed explanation of the workings of these funds, the support and opposition they are generating, and the new spurt in attempts by the federal government to regulate them.
The book explores the donor-advised fund legal landscape, looking at donor-advised funds in general, and the different contexts in which these funds are used. The history of donor-advised funds is recounted, including the role of community foundations, the emergence of private foundations, the impact of the 1969 tax reform legislation, and the 2006 legislation that created the statutory basis for these funds. The many criticisms of donor-advised funds are summarized, followed by critiques of the various allegations.
The book also provides a thorough analysis of the principal legal issues concerning donor-advised funds, including whether there is a need for some form of mandatory payout, the matter of distributions from donor-advised funds enabling donors and donor advisors to attend charity-sponsored events, and uses of donor-advised funds by private foundations. The book will conclude with an extensive summary and analysis of the proposed tax regulations concerning donor-advised funds issued by the Department of the Treasury and IRS.
