LEGAL AND POLICY FELLOW-
The WV Bar Foundation Board of Directors is pleased to announce the awarding of a grant to Philanthropy West Virginia, the statewide organization of community, private, corporate and family foundations, for a Legal and Policy Fellow. Pictured above, on the left, is Jackson Butler, the second year student at the WVU College of Law who was selected to serve as the Fellow, and, on the right, Paul Daugherty, President and CEO of Philanthropy WV.
Jackson was chosen from an impressive group of law students. He is a Student Bar Association Officer, a Moot Court Board member, involved in the Tax Law Society and has participated in four regional/national moot competitions in 2016. Last summer, he was a Junior Deputy Counsel (Intern) for the Federal Home Loan Bank Board in Pittsburgh.
President Daugherty stated that Jackson “will be working with our state and federal work around tax policy in particular the continued work with the passage of the renewal of the WV Neighborhood Investment Program, research policy matters related charitable tax deduction versus charitable tax credit, excise tax on private foundations on the federal level, and other policy education/development for philanthropy and nonprofits.”
Bar Foundation grants are provided to charitable organizations in compliance with the stated mission to improve the administration of justice and the provision of legal services to WV’s citizens. Almost a quarter of a million dollars in grants and commitments have been made in just the past six years.
The Bar Foundation is very pleased to make this grant to support Jackson Butler and Philanthropy WV in moving forward with this worthwhile and beneficial activity! |
