Isn't it really a question of stimulating the kind of private giving that we're interested in? We want to encourage individuals to give at a more substantial level. I think that's the motivation behind looking at the tax credit between the $200 and $10,000 levels.
Certainly we wouldn't be opposed to looking at an increase of the first $200 from 15% to 25%, but I think it's also acknowledging where the majority of giving comes from, which donors are most significantly contributing to the bottom line for arts organizations.
Just to give a bit of context, in the arts, typically the way our budgets look, on average 50% of income is earned, 25% comes from public funding, and the other 25% comes from private giving. For most organizations, that private giving is in that $200 to $10,000 range for most donors.
