Grantmakers of Western Pennsylvania is proud to partner with Economic Opportunity Funders to offer a livestream of their Annual Budget and Tax Briefings for GWP members. This session provides funders and philanthropic advisors across the U.S. with a unique opportunity to learn about and discuss why federal and state budget and tax work matters to national, state and local philanthropy.
Learn about key trends, battles and opportunities, and what’s at stake and in play in 2024. Panelists will share insights on the recent historic state tax credit expansions, consequential state races and ballot initiatives, and efforts to support the equitable implementation of federal investments, including the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, the Creating Helpful Incentives to Produce Semiconductors (CHIPS) and Science Act, and the Inflation Reduction Act.
Speakers
- Kamolika Das, Associate Director, Local Taxes, Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy
- Chris Melody Fields Figuredo, Executive Director, Ballot Initiative Strategy Center
- Justin Maxson, Executive Director, BuildUS (invited, pending confirmation)
