Congress just passed the most significant federal legislation for philanthropy in over a decade—and there’s more to the story than headlines reveal.

Join us for a dynamic, insider debrief featuring Jorge Castro and Ted McCann, longtime D.C. veterans and key players in removing the private foundation excise tax from H.R. 1. Both have worked extensively on charitable tax issues, including directly with congressional leadership and staff during the reconciliation process.

They’ll walk us through:

• A behind-the-scenes look at how the reconciliation bill came together
• The technical negotiations that helped secure big wins for the sector
• What to expect next from Congress on charitable tax policy
• Potential implications from other elements of the bill, such as changes to SNAP and Medicaid

This is a rare opportunity to hear from two experts who were in the room where it happened. While IPA staff and members worked to convey the urgency of improving the bill through local impact stories and data, Jorge and Ted were helping shape the final text and navigating the path forward on Capitol Hill. Together, we made change happen.

Whether you followed every twist and turn or are just now catching up, this session will connect the dots and help prepare your organization for what’s next.
