On September 17, House Ways and Means Oversight Subcommittee Chairman John Lewis (D-GA) announced that the Subcommittee will hold a hearing on September 25 to review whether tax-exempt charitable organizations are serving the needs of diverse populations and communities.
The hearing will focus on: the extent to which philanthropic dollars are being directed toward diverse communities; the actions tax-exempt organizations are taking to deal with issues and challenges that have arisen in identifying the needs of diverse communities; and the partnerships between governments and charitable organizations that are needed to reach and serve diverse populations. The Subcommittee will hear testimony on why developing a plan to serve diverse communities is important and beneficial.
