Endowment Association gifts imperiled by Reagan tax cuts
Members of the upper tax brackets will find the tax break of high-dollar donations diminished by President Reagan's tax cuts, but the Kansan Democrats' Endowment donation does not expect the big checks to stop coming.
"I can't look at it as
"I cannot look at it as
same as are some." Todd Seymour,
president of the En-
gland Association, said
yesterday.
"I don't really think taxes are the big reason people give," he added. "They give because they want to support the University."
This year, a $1 million gift actually cost a donor in the 70-percent tax bracket $300,000. When that bracket was $200,000, the contribution will cost $500,000 to make.
Seymour estimated that 90 percent of the money given to the Endowment Association each year from 4 to 3 percent of the donors.
"The majority of our gifts are $5,000 or more," he said, "and most are pledged over a three-year period."
A program providing incentives to potential donors in the lower-to-
middle tax brackets is being phased in by the Reagan plan.
In 1982 and 1983, taxpayers who do not itemize their contributions will be allowed a standard deduction of one-fourth of their contributions, up to a maximum deduction of $25 for a $100 donation.
This will increase to a maximum of 875 or three-fourths of total donations in 1984. In 1985, taxpayers may deduct 75 percent regardless of the amount donated, and in 1986, they may deduct the full amount of their donations.
