Federal budget: good news for private foundations
You can expect giving to private 
foundations to increase because of new rules announced in the federal budget yesterday.

Now donors will enjoy the same tax savings when they donate stock to private foundations (such as a family or corporate foundation). For more detail, check out this Globe and Mail article.
