Charities fear GOP tax overhaul will dry up donations

Season 2017 Episode 1273 | 5m 21s

Charities are concerned that the GOP tax overhaul disincentivizes giving. By doubling the standard deduction, fewer people may end up itemizing deductions, meaning fewer would take the charitable tax break. Judy Woodruff learns more from Stacy Palmer of The Chronicle of Philanthropy about the effects and gets advice from people who want to give.
