Legislation will soon be introduced to the U.S. Senate to regulate retailers’ charity affinity promotions. The intent is to make sure charities actually receive money pledged by companies. The proposed legislation would require retailers to notify charities they plan to use the nonprofit groups’ names, receive approval to do so, and disclose how much actually goes to charity.
