This past August, Congress passed and the President signed the "Pension Protection Act of 2006" which, as its name clearly implies, included a number of changes to federal law related to...charitable contributions and certain types of charitable foundation! One of those sausages from our lawmaking mill, like when a defense-budget bill turns out to include amendments authorizing new studies of wombat psychology...anyway if your work has anything to do even tangentially with donor-advised funds or supporting organizations you'll want to be informed about the law.
However that won't necessarily be easy, the Council on Foundations says the thing is a mess: "The provisions in the PPA have varying effective dates....Many of these provisions [some of which are now already the law of the land as I type this] are ambiguous and cannot be applied absent regulatory or other IRS interpretation..." Full gory details are available here.
