Aaron Dorfman, president of the National Committee for Responsive Philanthropy, was disappointed that the trip’s organizers focused on a narrow portion of the tax code that is directly relevant to charities. Participants in the Capitol Hill trip should have been encouraged to talk about a broad slate of policy issues and should have been prepped to talk about other tax issues, such as a promise Mr. Trump made to repeal the estate tax, which Mr. Dorfman said would decrease charitable giving.
“They’ve conceded that it’s going to be a done deal,” he said, referring to the effort to eliminate the estate tax.
