“Don't block philanthropy; unleash it!”

The government’s plans to limit tax reliefs for high earners has created a media storm and given rise to the 'Give it Back, George' campaign by the charitable sector to get the decision reversed.  

Dame Stephanie Shirley, (co-founder, Ambassadors for Philanthropy) has written an open letter to David Cameron setting out why she believes the measures are ill-judged. She adds that it is hoped that the forthcoming Summit on Giving, to be held in May, will provide an opportunity for philanthropists to have their say.
